akroorka Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 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 Report Share Posted January 6 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 Report Share Posted January 7 Is the surface hard, or has some 'give'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 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 Report Share Posted January 7 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...
