budwas Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I found this in a small lot of German handmade swerls. It's .77", white base glass. The white spot where all the colors originate is smooth but there is a circle on the opposite pole that's raised but also smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Is it glass? I have a clay flower vase with a similar pattern. I believe the painting technique (when used for old book covers) is actually called marbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm sure it's glass but seems a little heavy. I checked it with a magnet and it's not a ferris metal. Under magnification it appears to be melted glass finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbarney2012 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Could it bea painted clay, that is heavier than glass. And can be colder to the touch. Just a thought Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
