akroorka Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 OK Steph, Thanks for that. I agree that it is a Veiligglas--nice one. The opaques are a hard find here in the USA. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Yes, the OP Y&B Veiligglas is affectionately named after Winnie, the one who gave us all so much information on them, R.I.P. this was posted on AAM while I still had no idea the marble had been named after Her.

Fire1981 Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 The Flame Tips are bomber. I like the one that splits and adds the 4th flame tip in the last pic that could be considered to be a Flame. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-I also mistakenly believed the white base with blue and orange were also Winnies…they are not. They do seem to be a little less common than the white base with blue and yellows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-I also mistakenly believed the white base with blue and orange were also Winnies…they are not. They do seem to be a little less common than the white base with blue and yellows. Sorry, but surely you are mistaken Nantucketdink. Whinnie posted photos of two variations of these colors. One variation is ribbon style like the yellow in topic and the other, the orange is thinner with little spots of something as if the color did not anneal properly or is seedy. Not to leave out, about 20 years ago, before Winnie discovered these in Amsterdam yet I wasn't looking to acquire more from Germany Ebay,. I'd sent the auction link to Clyde T as he was looking to get some too. I advised him the same thing: With orange, which that auction had in it, along with others and wire pulls, is the hardest white based to get. And Winie took it up one more level too. She posted one with both, yellow blended to orange with blue and white. Apparently, the hardest to remember, if one wasn't hunting them as I did several years back, is that Winnie found them too.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is where her son described and named the marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Maybe I misunderstood what you meant Jeff. Were you saying that blue and orange on white was the hardest to find white base of all Veiligglas made? There are several much harder to find color combos. Here are some of my blue and orange as reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Even the brown/purple with orange are harder to find than the blue with orange. The green and orange is harder to find by far. The 3 colored ones on white are also harder to find. Pic for reference. I do love the Winnie color combo like the original pic in this thread with blue and yellow on white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
