Thüringen Thursday


Steph

Recommended Posts

This Thursday I'm sharing my happiness at finishing off my last incomplete board.

I bought this board with 31 x 17-20mm faceted clear micas a long time ago. Block's recent auction had three exactly matching micas which I bought and am delighted with the result. Having added two of the micas to make it up to 33 mibs, I literally now can't tell which are the newcomers!!!

Happy days!!!!!

All 3 of these are from an auction I had in 2009 and saved the pix from. 

First is what I'd call a submarine, w/ just as much going on inside as outside, one pontil is faceted and the other a melted pigtail, so I'm dating it somewhere between 1850 and 1870, early German marble production.

Next one is a Joseph coat. @ just over an inch w/ a lattice looking jell core, both pontils on this one are unfinished.

Not sure what you'd call this one ? w/ amethyst base glass and yellow swirls going through it, I call it a single pontil transitional. The pontil on this one is unfinished and appears to be broken off and left.
