VTAndrea Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Rummaging through marbles to create my next ebay lots, I stumbled across this 1/2" peewee "guinea" which is obviously modern. It has a pontil (visible in the 2nd photo) and a cobalt blue base. My photography skills aren't up to showing the base in a photo and I apologize for the lack of crispness. I don't remember getting this at a show--I've been to very few--nor picking it up in a miscellaneous find. The melted pontil doesn't show any initials. Does anyone know who might have created this pretty little bauble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The only modern guinea maker I know of is Wilganowski. Doesn't look like his, does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I do not believe Fred made that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Gee, I'm surprised neither of you has a guess as to maker. Hope someone else does. Maybe it's a rare one worth many hundreds of dollars......LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 There are a fair number of modern torch work artists that made Guineas. That particular one is fairly unremarkable in terms of tracing it. It doesn't look like either SP or CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryG Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Scott Patrick did some Guineas, though not any peewees that I know of. My best friend has a modern one I gave her years ago that was pretty nice. I'll have to see if I can borrow it to take some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Fred Wilganowski did not make peewees. It's not his style either. For a while I collected guineas from every artist I knew who made them. Andy Davis just gave me two of his. Those marbles don't look like any I have.

VTAndrea Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks, everyone. Maybe this one is too small to fit initials on?? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
