Jzoook6 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 The white on this is super white and the orange is, well, pretty orange! All I know is that I do not have another marble like this one. .64 What do you think? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Eye. A little ol'll trick some CAC Striped opaques can feature noted many years ago. . If you turn the larger photo's marble, turn the center a little counterclockwise to see if it looks like an eyeball. It almost looks like an eye now but looking down like 5 O'clock. Put it at 3 O'clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it has a bright shiny metallic flake(different from the Vitro space junk) 🤷♀️ extra flair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This (your photo attached below) the largest photo, bottom left, you made. At this angle, in your photo attached, it is looking at 5 O'clock If you make another photo at this angle but turn it counterclockwise a bit to 3 O'clock. I have one with blending electric orange and blue but lost the photo of it some time ago. It's a feature you don't see often but noted back in the 1990's by CAC collectors. And I guess you could cite yours to have a tunnel in other shots yet, yours doesn't have a road to which is a construction feature, a type that's not just an occasional occurrence, yours does not have, belongs together: 'Road and tunnel'. I mean, you could just shoot another shot, but my point is, it looks like you got this eye and with just a slight turn, I think you'll see it better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sorry I should have said that I knew it was upside down, I had already taken the shot. And sorry about the tunnel and road confusion--I know Mine does not have that. An orange and blue version would be awesome!!! Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 That is a great marble. Notice the brightness of the white (that is if you can look away from the orange) It may be the tell vs a contemporary made which many torchers have done. Great images! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the brightness of the white was the first thing I noticed too, its like a neon white 😂 The pics don't even do it justice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 The whites from a "recipe" are always brighter than "cullet white"(cullet meaning glass purchased from another glass maker)----much deeeper, cleaner white. A good clue when looking for some of the nicer WVS marbles--CAC as well who made all of their own glass as far as I know anyhow. All opinions are appreciated. Marble--On!!

Marble--On!! oh super interesting thx for sharing. would Peltier have made their own glass for their blue and white stripey slags? (I think you posted some actually) I have one and the white is pretty freaking white compared to some others . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I believe that with the possible exception of CAC--all Machine made Makers used cullet glass. Many of the older companies used their own recipes along with cullet from other glass makers. This is of course open to discussion and I appreciate all opinions. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I think Ravenswood and maybe one or two others used batch glass for short a time ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Most or all of the larger and oldest machine made companies Akro Peltier Vitro CAC Ravenswood Alley started with raw batch glass. As more competition came along they all eventually switched to making marbles from cullet or scrap glass. Cost were cut and when that happens quality always suffers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jzoook6 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 heres that other bright white guy I have which maybe could be batch glass. Sorry for dragging out the post--just wanted to share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Blue and white is a Peltier slag (onyx) sometimes called a feather slag, not batch glass IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are white as white can be. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just my opinion Art, not positive, I always thought slags were made from leftover "cullet" glass ?? Be interesting to find out the situation fer sher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that Peltier made and used batch white in their early mibs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
