YasudaCollector Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 My brother (also a marble collector) has had this marble for several years. We've gotten several different opinions about it, but have never been fully sure of what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 This guy is about 0.68" and does have a small pinch pontil at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 It looks like a Japanese transitional to me too, and I agree it may be Yasuda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris64 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Pinch Pontil………I always thought were CAC …. I have some the pontil is so hard to see . I use a jewelers lope and still cant tell if it’s a pontil or not. They are hand gathered. I keep them around and look at them once in awhile hoping I can figure it out. Transitional… I think need more research….Glad you posted something on this topic.!! I like you have hundred of them some are easy to see the type of pontil some not so easy. I do believe I have some like yours and Dave…..Dave not here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 Thank you! 🙂 It is really interesting to see the variety that Japanese transitionals come in. Both Dave's and mine seem to have a lot more white than usual. It's almost like the white is the base glass and not the swirls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesnothere Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I noticed that too the consistency in the glass is terrible. I have a few that are so well made they look American then a blob. Shame too because I love the colors especially the aquas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
