YasudaCollector Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Man! Has anybody ever seen one of the Chinese birdcage marbles?  It almost reminds me of the glass used in some older Chinese paperweights (the sandy color base glass with bright primary color designs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YasudaCollector Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Wow! That's quite a few considering how rare they are. What would they have been used for though? 🤔 I've heard the Chinese paperweight makers also made aquarium ornaments too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
