Marbleized Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hi Everyone, My first question is, "Are these marbles Vitros?" These patches remind me of those found on the red patch of a Vitro All Red where there are somewhat 90 degree angles at the seams. If these are Vitros, my second question would be, "Is this "look" specific to Vitros?" From what I have, it seems to be. (But, I'm not certain that these are Vitros, so I might be barking up the wrong tree.) Thanks for helping me through my need to find patterns. Yikes!

Ric Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The only one I have some reservation about is the last one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The last one looks like it didn't make it through the machine well. So the seam is not as clean as the first two. So the "90 degree angle" is not as strong. Thanks for the help Da Roberto and Ric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, when you say "90 degree angle", do you mean that one seam is offset by 90 degrees relative to the other, like -- and |? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I marked up my photo to show what I'm thinking. (They say a picture is worth a thousand words. LOL.) Sorry, my finger blocked the view of the marble as I drew the lines so they may be a bit sloppy.

Ric Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Good deal, now I get what you're talking about. I'd be a little careful using that as a Vitro specific trait - it happens on Akro too. But if the seams on each side of the marble are perpendicular to one another, that trait is far more common on Vitros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Cut lines can help. But they can change even within the same company. A different type shear, old blades, new blades, hot or cold glass, etc. Very little 100% with marbles. Identification is use as many traits as possible. Many Akro, Vitro and Marble King cut lines can be very similar. Then most of the WV swirls, Jabos and more, show no cut lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reread this today, 4.29.22 and what you said about the seams being perpendicular. What I'm hearling Ric say is if the seams are on the opposite sides of the marbles and if you placed those angles next to each other, they'd be facing opposite of each other, which is more common in Vitros? I'm probably not hearing it right. Just trying to clarify this in my muddy brain. LOL. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the easiest way to explain what I meant is to say this . . . make an "X" with your index fingers and imagine each finger is a seam on opposite sides of the marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
