Japanese?

[Marbleamy]

These I'm not too crazy about, but I was told they are  Japanese, so I am posting here for more opinions. They're all clear glass with brushed on colors. Several of them have a single stretched out blow hole. 🤔

Many are Japanese, of the Wales or Pincher variety.  I don't  think all though.

I agree with all of the above.

The yellow in these is as intense as opaque yellow gets in marbles as far as I am concerned.

Just an observation.

Marble--On!!

Based on the packaging I've seen them in, I would think of the  pinchers/Wales style as being from the 1960's.  

As to which ones might not be Japanese, the first I feel strongly about is the middle marble on the left side. 


Also I'm not sure what to think about the red-based ones with white surface color.
