I have had a few of these with the dark almost olive drab color pass through my hands. I would call them slags but who made them is the question that I have not ever answered. Marble--On!!

I think any marble with white in clear or colored transparent glass can rightfully be called a slag, regardless of who made it. In other words, I do believe most WV marble companies made slags (aka, "transparent swirls" that are opaque white in clear or colored transparent base glass). Depending on structure and pattern, you can usually distinguish those made by one company from those of another company. The only difference between a CAC peach slag and a similar marble from Alley would be the structure and pattern. Why should one be a "slag" and the other not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a slag vs swirl guy. This one is on the fence for me and it always has been. This color combo is just a weird and rare one imho. Thanks Ric! Marble--On!!

I dare say any hand-gathered or cane-cut slag is NOT a swirl - swirls suggest more randomness in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Lol I won't get into that. Well... in the glass world, someone could easily call it slag. In the marble world, generally not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a weird one and I am glad that you found it in the digs cheese—Thanks again. Houze has always been a favorite of my wife and I. I purchased a "Houze cullet" marble earlier this year or so--just a share. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
