Melon Ball?


Recommended Posts

This one is unusual. I don't see anything that looks much like a pontil. 

The photos aren't doing much for me. Can you try to describe the marble? Is it green transparent base glass with a big blob of white in it or what?

"Melon Balls" are one color in my experience at least.

There should be some sort of "Pontil" included.

This one appears to be machine made and if I had to guess on the maker it would be Master.

Marble--On!!

For some reason im thinking that ive hear someone refer to a master made type of marble as a melon ball as well. Idk why im thinking that. It appears to be a transparent green with a white or lime green filled center. The seams are very hard to detect. The 10th picture up from the bottom shows the seam. It was done very well

Is the stuff in the center more like a wafer (flat) or a blob?

I would expect any pontil to be pretty much on the opposite side of the from that seam or cut-off. Do you see anything there?

Its more like a roundish oval blob. Let me try to get a video of it.
