Melissa Posted March 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I want this one to be a burnt Christmas tree. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 The first one is pretty cool. As I recall the term “bifurcated” has to do with the base glass so I do not believe that this one qualifies. It also has a sort of “Copperhead” look to it but I still think that it lands short of the mark. The other two are nice as well but they are “Rainbos” in my realm—all of them are. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I wonder if the first or third would fall under the name "Woody". Like Art, I also played with the notion of "Copperhead" on the first. But it's probably more in the area of "I'm going to call this a copperhead and sell it on Ebay for big bucks even though I was told it wasn't a copperhead" kind of thing. Sweet bos all around.

Thank you! You don't have to worry about me selling anything on eBay btw. I'm 100% a collector. The only ones I'm selling are the dumb ones and the dented ones for more money to buy nicer ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just feeling around for the right way to describe how much I wanted it to be a Copperhead, but figured it wasn't, with a little mix of frustration at how hard it is to search for good images since so many of search results are sales from people who mis-id-ed the marbles when they listed them for sale. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall the term “bifurcated” has to do with the base glass so I do not believe that this one qualifies . . . @Melissa Yes, bifurcated is when there are two distinctly different base glasses on opposite halves of the marble. In your marble, the light brown/tan color on the one side of the marble is produced by color "leaking out" from and between the two darker ribbons that border the area. I think the base is off for a Copperhead and the striping pattern doesn't look right to earn a Wood designation either, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pelt-head out there would love to own it--I would for sure and I am just a mild pelt-head. Corkhead am I😁. Marble--On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice ones are so expensive though! I'm a corkhead too, but I love master and vitro as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
