LindPW Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Opaque white base, transparent red/orange stripe. Almost reminds me of a transitional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm not sure what to make of it either. Not a transitional. With the clear red ribbon, I'm not seeing Vitro. So the 2nd choice could be Pelt. But it doesn't seem very pelty to me either. I guess it could be a Japanese marble in the pelt style. But with its two seams and the equatorial ribbon, it's not a transitional. This one is strictly machine-made. The transitionals are handgathered -- look for the 9 and tail on one end of a transitional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindPW Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I only really said transitional because I couldn’t nail anything else down. Lol also the word “translational” apparently is a bit skewed from the meaning in fruit jar collecting, which I am a custom to. Pelt did cross my mind, but never thought of Vitro.

winnie Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looks like a Japanese mushroom type. Here are some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusty56 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 what about vitro whitie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Whities are veneered marbles and that transparent ribbon seems to run awfully deep. I can't swear a whitie can't have a transparent ribbon ... but that's what ruled it out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty56 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 the reason I ask the vitro agate id guide by memow shows three whities that looks like the same seams with white base and transparent strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Look at the white glass here -- it's kinda seedy. If we were looking at a WV swirl, I'd be thinking "Cairo Novelty". I'm not seeing anything here which suggests "veneering" to me. I googled ... and may see the photo you're referring to. So basically I need more input about transparent ribbons on Whities ... but also, to me, this marble doesn't look right for Vitro in the white glass either. Need some Whities pictures!
