Ric Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 This modern ceramic marble is just over 1-1/2". I think Tom Thornburgh made some similar. Unfortunately, I have never actually seen one of his styled like this so I don't know for sure. Any thoughts? Any ideas about who might have a thought? @hdesousa @BobBlock @Penny Kelley Anyone have examples of Tom's ceramic marbles to show? Thanks for any help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if Tom Thornburgh made this one or not, it just seems like a reasonable possibility since much of his ceramic work was inspired by antique marbles. It also doesn't seem like it was intended to deceive, which would fit with Tom's attitude too. I think he was more about putting his own artistic spin on vintage designs. I am not sure if this one is inspired by Benningtons or old American stoneware types, I'm thinking the latter, but I thought it was pretty neat so I grabbed it when I had the chance, thinking it might be some of Tom's work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
