Marbleized Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just wondering if this is a Vitro. I've noticed that a lot of Vitros have lips that look like this. Although, I don't remember seeing Vitros that are so "empty" in the middle. Aside from the lips there is just a mirror of some lips in a brown thin line. Are wavy "lips" a dead give away for some Vitro? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I am responding just to respond. It is a "pretty nice--one " whatever it may be. The clear glass looks vintage and "well cooked" to me. Vitro would not be my first choice on this one. It may be a Pelt. More input is needed for sure. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sort of see it now too. Funny how I get stuck on looking at one thing and I forget to look at the other attributes. The seams don't look "vitro". (Chad is asking for more pics of the seams which is why I looked. I was looking at everything, but what is the most important part--the seams. Yikes! I wonder what he'll say.) Thanks!

Here's a couple of photos where you can kind of see the seams. It's hard for this amateur to bring them out with all the clear and little contrast in colors. The first one looks pretty straight. The second one is straight from the orange to the brown then goes up for the white. Akrooorka is guessing Peltier and now that you had me examine the seams, it is looking more like a Pelt to me as well. Looking forward to your input. Thanks!

Chad G. Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Ah yes !! I agree w/ "Vitro" thanks for the closeups Most of the time the top & bottom do look like that (lips), that is when they're not opaque patches on the marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks Chad and Akroorka! Goes to show you that I have no idea what to look for still.🤣 The one thing that I am certain of when I see it is a corkscrew. Oh, wait. I got that wrong recently. Maybe a . . . oh wait, I got that one wrong too. It’s a good thing you are all so willing to help!! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 No problem, Chad, amongst others will generally keep me straight. I will always be here to give input and keep the great ID’s going to the end. I will always call them as I see them, always hoping for a rebuttal. It is just a great marble to look at regardless. If I can help to get these things I’d I will try my best to keep them active. I have no ego when it comes to Identifying marbles and I always hope for the best. Chad called this one right IMHO--great job once again. Marble—On ---for sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I used to think the lips or “v” meant Vitro as well then I bought a few Akro Agates that had Lips too. I was like Oh Lord here I was thinking I had begun to know a few things about marbles and a big fat juicy BAM slapped me……. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 One thing about marbles, always an exception to every rule (several). What's that old saying "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
