Definitely an interesting marble - the latticino is pretty unusual. Thanks for showing it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff54 Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 This came from a lady who brought it from Germany and her "Childhood favorite". . It seems to be A Transitional, Hand-gathered, Machine-made even with a few flecks of mica inside the green. I think it was about 1991-3 when I'd met her so, I reckon it was about 1910 when her family immigrated. I've never seen any other like this in all that time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one that I have not seen before......maybe just hand gathered with no machine involved other than the hand held devices used to make it round—(which could be called machines—in my book---at the least back then) Nice marble!!! Nice find!!! Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to have way more than it's fair share of white, and it's hard to tell, but it does kind of look like a crude folded "pontil". How would you classify it?

Green glass in marbles has always carried some flecks of sparkles here and there--regardless of the time period--even to this day. I would still consider this as a hand gathered rarity--the transparency in the green has me baffled--Nice bright white--recipe stuff as far as I would consider. Nice marble regardless!! Thanks for sharing it--I hope that you get some answers. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them have that shiny, almost iridescent metallic-looking, glaze that is quite different than the more typical ones. At least, I think that's what I'm seeing here. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Here's a favourite from the very first jar of German handmades I bought in Edinburgh in a vintage toy shop. Must have been 1991 when I was up for the Edinburgh Festival that Summer. Its 1" and in perfect condition (those are just reflections in the pic). Still love this one 32 years on!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Some Beningtons a few glazed clays & what I believe is a lined crockery (Jaspar?)for this "Thüringen Thursday" the black benny is the only one in that color I've ever seen, but if there's one there's others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Oh, I forgot I'd made this photo, over 20 years ago. While most of my photos are machine-made, I got bunches of German, cane-cut too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they often used the more drab white/gray stones for dying since they were not as attractive as the stones with better color and the dyed color came out better using the lighter-colored stones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
