Akro Agate Lemonade Oxblood Marble

[Shamrock Marbles]

A few questions…

What would you call the base glass? Yellow Alabaster? Yellow Moonstone? Other?

Lastly, is the wispy white part of the base glass or considered a third glass?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Interesting questions. As a collector and not a glass chemist, I just refer to it as an Ade base. I would also consider the white to be part of the base and not an additional color, since I don't think it came from a striping pot. In my mind, a Silver Oxblood is pretty much the same marble with an Ace base instead of the Ade base.

I agree with Ric especially in this instance.

The ox in this one is the same as what is commonly found in a Silver oxblood---runny more bloody--not so thick and not so showy--if you know what I mean.

In my humble experience--this type of base glass holds up under wear better than a silver.

Nice find!

Marble--On!!
