YasudaCollector Posted 16 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Here's the marble which I got in Seattle a few months ago at a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YasudaCollector Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 15 hours ago And here's the bead, which I found yesterday at a local antique shop. It doesn't come through quite in the photos, but the bead is the same rumply, blackish green glass as the marble. The bead is bigger (about 0.8"). The marble is only about 0.67".

Alan Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago That (green) "marble" is technically more a bead given that it is mandrel-wound as beads are (that is how I got started in torch working glass). It isn't drilled. You can see the winding technique in the glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
