Plutonianfire Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Please see photos of another “marble” thrown up onto the ground suface by a bulldozer. I thought it might be a clay marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I get a little confused with terminology sometimes but this doesn't look like your typical clay "Commie" type marble to me - more like glazed earthenware maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I’m not familiar with “Commies”. I guess I need to see some pics and see if I have any🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I consider commies to be low fired unglazed earthenware (clay) marbles. Some were dyed and other were not . . . Their color can vary greatly depending on the type of clay used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marble that I posted looks almost exactly like the bluish marbles in your photo here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Your marble looks like it is glazed to me. Common clay marbles (commies) are not glazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Bennington “ that I have is glazed. This one is not glazed. It looks like it was dyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Again, it's your marble. You have it in hand. You can call it whatever you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
