Tel marbles Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 These one had me confused! But I think now they might be German handgathered? The pink one is that just damaged? and the tiny apple is it a decoration or an actual marble lol thanks in advance for all your help!

Steph Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 The pink is damaged AND handmade. It is German. The bottom left view shows a pontil. The pink is a "melon ball". The blue ... does it have such a pontil? It has the look of either a German melon ball or a 1930's Master Cloudy. But it might be too large for a Cloudy ... not sure offhand how big those got. The Cloudy was a machine-made style. So ... do we have a pontil? On the yellow if that is a purposeful stem, then that's a decoration. German glass companies could be engaged in the production of marbles, beads or decorative glass at the same sites. I guess it's possible that it's something that accidentally stuck into the marble and the marble was discarded. But if that was a marketed item, then decoration.

Tel marbles Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Perfect!! That is so helpful! I have add a picture of the blue one a little closer, both sides and the size. Is that a pontil? The tiny apple its neat and glows so bright under uv light! Was curious thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Agreed with German "Melon Balll" but the top left could be a figurative fruit (or something along those lines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The yellow one is a mistake or accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I eat a lot of grapes that are borderline, do you think it may be a yellow cherry then? Those are good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
