Contemporary Asians


Recommended Posts

I haven’t posted in a while but I sorted out some contemporary Asian opaques the other week. Childhood keepers. 😊

I’ve noticed how some, as beautiful as they may be, are of ”lesser” quality than others. The stripes and patterns are very shallow, like they made a solid white marble and… I don’t know…  somehow ”painted” the striped pattern onto the surface. I honestly dont know how to describe it but I tried to take a couple of photos on shallow dents that reveal a white spot.

Some USA companies did the veneer process as competition came along. Vitro and Marble King were a couple of the early ones to do it. I can get the date but it started with them around the late 1950's or early 1960's.  Marble King still does it today.  It saves on the amount of color added for each marble.
