@Alan That is an awesome marble. Is it Besett & Leslie? It's such a cool technique. What size is it?

Very good call - Harry & Wendy Besett.  Its large - 3" dia., 6-stage.  IIRC it took a bit over a week to make.

3", Wow. The amount of work in it is very obvious - it's so cool!

Not my face, but I would pay dearly to have one like it.

If there was anyone that had one, it would be you. Thank you for sharing!

 If I recall correctly, he had a monkey face, too. True?

How early would you say the momentum started for contemporary marbles? 1995? Sooner?

Help me with the makers in your picture. Fritz Lauenstein? Gerry Coleman? Hot House Glass? John Hamon Miller? Geoffrey Beetem? Harry Besett? Others?

@Alan I love it when you show the art glass from your collection. You have impeccable taste and your examples are stunning. Thank you very much for sharing them!

@Alan Somewhere in this house I have a Gerry Colman VHS tape on making marbles. Sadly, I have no VHS player. Oh, the irony!
