Roberto Posted Friday at 05:31 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:31 PM I would like to describe some of these beautiful European marbles that were made in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, mainly at the renowned veiligglas glassworks, but also partly in Germany. Some of these marbles can have very twisted and busy wire or stripe patterns, others can have swan neck, flame, or even (as I consider them) calligraphic marbles that resemble the typical calligraphic marbles of Alley Agate. The latter seem to be found mainly in those with an amber base, followed by the purple ones. The first marble I will show features the classic and typical 'swan neck' pattern. There will be others with flaming patterns, very busy, calligraphic, etc. Good vision, I hope it's pleasant 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Posted Friday at 05:56 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 05:56 PM And here come what I call 'calligraphies' As I mentioned, it seems these are mostly found in those with an amber base, followed by purple. If any of you have ones with a blue or green base, please post them because I would love to see them. Thank you! Another point out would like to point out is the similarity to the calligraphic marbles of Alley Agate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
