budwas Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 These were in with some old marbles I picked up. Laticinos, handmade slags ect. They are 5/8" glass. What the heck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 What the heck is right! They came with antique marbles? They're lovely but my guess would be painted ceramic or polymer clay. (and not very old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I would agree with Steph. I forget the ladies name, Lauri something (maybe) out of Italy that sells similar marbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Steph, There not painted, not ceramic. There glass with silvery aventurine. I would be happy to send them if you want to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budwas Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ok Winnie; thank you. Hope you have a nice 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Uh oh ... glad you showed us these others. So far everything looks modern. That Bennington looks very weird -- I don't know what anyone was trying to do with it -- gonna guess it was a recent project though. If glass, the ones which started the thread could be ground down from something else. Cullet is sometimes ground into marbles and ends up with cool patterns. I'm not the best person to send marbles to. I would try to look them over and return them promptly but I'm in the middle of packing for a move and not always good with timely mail. *sheepish* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
