budwas Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I don't find confetti marbles very attractive but have a few from years back. Are there any that are worth keeping? And if so could we have a few pictures with names please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The odds are very low that any confetti marbles that you'd find in the wild would be collectible. Very very very few Vitro confetti marbles were made. They weren't sold in stores. And then there are the Christensen Agate Guineas which some might think of as confetti marbles. But pretty much what you would find in the wild are from Mexico or Asia and not collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Are you referring to vintage handmades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Steph and Alan I think Steph has answered my question. I was looking at some transparent base marbles with one color of speckles smashed into them. Lol very ugly! Thank you both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budwas Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Oh good, a few more for the wrist rocket bag. Thanks Alan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The odds of find a Vitro confetti in the wild are pretty close to nil I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 But sometimes crazy things happen, Not sure when or where but this is identical to the white base. There was a discussion once about the clear ones but I can not remember what the consensus was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That one is kinda cool, mine are all ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 This is my Vitro "spotty" or whatever you want to call it. A couple years before she passed, Patry Denton asked me if I was interested in selling it to her. I told her I'd save it for her if I was ever going to sell it, then unfortunately she passed away from her MS. From what I've read about the Vitro confettis or spotties, this is an authentic example. And by the way, I did find it in the wild at a flea market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budwas Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It appears that the vetros were hotter as the fritz is smoother then the ones from Mexico. Thanks to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Budwas: It has white, yellow and green on a clear base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeperman Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just thought I would and another Vitro Confetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Purple! So pritty. Can see the seam on that one ... interesting. Never thought about a confetti seam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I was going to put my Vitro confetti or spotty or whatever you want to call it on ebay today but suddenly realized I'd never put it in the caliper. It's 21/32". Does that mean it's an Asian look-alike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
