Ric Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 (edited) Welcome aboard! That is a Seike crease "pontil" transitional (hand gathered and machine rounded) marble from Japan. One of my favorite colors too. 🙂 Edited Tuesday at 02:33 PM by Ric replaced Yasuda to Seike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Pontil is the tail like swirl of glass the forms a ring on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that creased spiderweb looking area - where the marble was cut off the gathering rod. It is probably more accurate to call it a cut-off or shear mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVRSWAP Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM Thanks. What’s the swirl in the second image? Looks like a strand of glass was pulled over that area in a swirl. What are these called? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted Tuesday at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:57 AM I just want to correct my earlier brain glitch - Seike (Japan) made this creased pontil transitional, not Yasuda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
