Blue Clearie with Oxblood

[YasudaCollector]

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).

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).

The distribution has the look of incidental oxblood.  That can occur is most glass pots used for marble making.

Interesting, so a bit of oxblood got into the glass batch by accident?

I believe it's a chemical reaction not intended

As Tommy noted - "oxblood" can be caused by a chemical reaction in the pot.

Sorry if I missed the size-----
Regardless of the chemical reaction that may have caused this—or not---more images are needed with this one.
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.

Thank you! I love the character/colors in this guy. 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.

I think it’s a Foreign Cats Eye🔥

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?
