Ric Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm having a hard time seeing a pontil. It might just be the fact that this one appears tough to photograph - not too uncommon with monochrome marbles. Does it look like any of the pontils shown in this thread?

Me too Ric but it does looke like a pinched pontil on my monitor--no clue as to what the marble may be though. It does appear to be slightly out of round. Marble--On!!

Jeff54 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Yeah, I can see the tick of the glass on this, but it does not look like a pontal but rather more like an error. The photos need to be improved to clarify if it's just a tick or actually hand-gathered. It may be as it does appear to have a spiral within it, yet can't confirm with these photos.

Alan Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 It appears more like a shear defect on a game marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Orange is a tough color to capture, I think, because bright and contrast need to help separate the yellow and red that usually blend and cause the color. Maybe you have to much light reflecting off the tray or whatever that's blasting (back lit) too much light through it. Maybe a Black background? IDDK except it looks layered which I'd like to see if that's for fine lines spiraling as a hand-gathered would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am becoming convinced that it is handgathered. The Pontil is a weird one. I cannot imagine who made it, or when. 3/4"--nice marble. Marble--On!!
