akroorka Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 If you are convinced that this one is glass--I would call it beginners try at making a marble with a torch. I like it! Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 So called "Paper mache" (made from gutta percha) marbles are light, I've seen marbles like you have before just can't put my finger on it right now ?? They made knife handles and all types of things from gutta percha.

Alan Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Is the surface hard, or has some 'give'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Isn't there a lady in Italy making these? Paint looks similar to technique used for "paper marbling" or "end covers" in old books. Mill balls are typically heavier than your average clay marble. I don't think it's glass or Gutta Perrcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Yes, the Italian made marble is what I was thinking of also, still can't put my finger on the name or type, very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
