Berryb Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 That seam looks like a Japanese transitional to me. Not a great photo but if you look close you can see the same long puckered seam. Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 If there is only one of those "seams" - I'd call it a creased pontil, and a transitional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Yes but we found out what others suspected, a transitional alright, I'm trying to make room for my other foot !! How long do I have to do this Greetz ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I am thinking machine made. I have never seen a transitional Cat Eye. The crease looks to me like a bad shear cut, even with eyelash marks on both sides of a dull shear blade. The crease is from the dull shear blade and glass just a little to cold. Most transitionals twist or turn at the pole where it was cut from the hand gather. This marble just doesn't look hand gathered to me. The blue marble above has the handgather twist, he was right handed. I do not see any twist in the original above. Maybe I am chewing on my foot also ????? But I just do not see handgathered, plus a Cat Eye design ??????????? Anyone else have pictures of 7/8 inch Cat Eye style transitionals ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
