YasudaCollector Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 We've all probably seen tons of those totally random clearie marbles in practically every single marble jar we come across. They usually don't come with much in the way of character/eye appeal let alone value. However, I think this guy stands out from that (at least a little).

YasudaCollector Posted September 30 Author Report Share Posted September 30 Sorry, the red in the oxblood really didn't come through in the pictures. I'm sure its oxblood since I bought an Akro oxblood in the same group (the brushed red glass on the clearie looked exactly like the oxblood glass on the Akro). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 The distribution has the look of incidental oxblood. That can occur is most glass pots used for marble making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted September 30 Author Report Share Posted September 30 Interesting, so a bit of oxblood got into the glass batch by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 I believe it's a chemical reaction not intended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a very very nice one imho and I always like to see Oxblood regardless of the intentions of the maker. Nice marble!! Marble—On!!

Cool! 😎 As a marble newbie, I assumed that oxblood would be made deliberately. It's fascinating to learn about colors being created by accident. I guess its kind of like pottery (which I learned in high school) - you'll never know for sure what will come out of the kiln/oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and take some more pictures, but my camera really didn't want to pick up the reddish tones of the oxblood. At least, hopefully I can get any cut off lines/seams in the glass in my next pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 I think it’s a Foreign Cats Eye🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted October 1 Author Report Share Posted October 1 So like European or Japanese? There were some Japanese cat's eyes in the group, and several older Vacor imperials (like 1970s ish). Could it be from either of those countries?
