thephunkfreaker Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 good afternoon folks...my name is Scott and i am new here...i have been perusing the site and the amount of information here runs very deep...i was hoping the someone/s here may be kind enough to help me w.a marble that i recently acquired...i can't find a signature anywhere but it appears to be well done enough not to be a generic piece...it is about 1.5 inches across and has a nice pattern to it...this is all i know...thanks again for any help that can be afforded to me...here are some photos of it...

Fire1981 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Welcome aboard. Contemporaries are hard to ID if the initials aren't on it. There are so many Artists and it's hard keep track of them. Keep posting pictures. Your pics are excellent 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Nice marble, the first shot looks like a sea serpent or something. There are a few people with extensive knowledge of contemporarys who frequent the board. Hopefully, one of them will chime in but, as Rick said, without a signature mark it might be very difficult to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hello Scott and a most hardy --- Welcome, This is not a machine made marble. It is a “Modern Contemporary” obviously made by someone in the experimental stage of producing these fine little orbs. Do not get me wrong, the maker is on the right track. The finish is the problem here, the cut-off “nipple” is.; the bubble is not so bad imho. This is a very nice try and a beauty—it just will not cut it, value wise because of the defect. The folks that make/sell these with any success are perfectionists and I mean perfectionists, they sign marbles because of the pride in the workmanship that they all struggle with. This one is just short of the mark, and not signed, we all know why, including the maker. He/She will do better, much better, I am sure. Marble—On!!! And keep coming back with more to show the folks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephunkfreaker Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Thank you all for the help. It has been informative and thoughtful of the community to help the newbie. Is there a particular pattern this is considered and what is the shiny stuff in the marble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
