COVRSWAP Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Hi All, next one. I think it is a European marble, a sparkler perhaps. Colours seem to cut across the spectrum. surface is terrible with lots of chips and has a diameter of 18mm. Any thoughts on what it is, age and origin? Many thanks in advance for your support and insights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Not a Sparkler. Sparklers are a machine made and are made by Akro. Some Sparklers are Foreign. That's a German Handmade.🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COVRSWAP Posted July 12 Author Report Share Posted July 12 Many thanks. So much to learn clearly…. How can you tell it is handmade? What are the obvious signs and why Germany? Sorry for the questions - new and trying to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 The round things (pontils)are where that marble was cut off the cane. Imagine twisting a candy cane and then cutting a section off with scissors. Germany started making these around 1812ish 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
