Tri Lite.  Most all true Tri Lites are very nice. They are some of the oldest Vitros. Older marbles better glass, better quality, tougher glass, just all better.  Most Tri Lites are under valued compared to the same time frame marbles of other companies.

Good looking Vitro. You may have a bonus with the red if it looks like it's floating or spilling across the surface. I had called them 'Floaters'. I think, these days, when red is dark enough, peeps call it a variation of anemic Oxblood.  This one has it floating atop more than half which is uncommon. Your red, if floating, would be more the norm. Always a plus especially for how nice yours also looks like an Akro sparkler and encased with clear.

I appreciate the added info on the red. I have a couple similar to the one you’ve pictured here. They’re really pretty and  fun marbles to own. Also, I thought the same thing about the Akro Sparkler similarities but there’s a lack of defined filaments and the colors here look more paneled than striated to me. But I agree with the comparison.
