aussie Posted Monday at 08:12 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:12 AM I'm only a beginner. A Transitional is hand gathered with a wraparound tail? Do you get both hand gathered and fully machine made Slags? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted Monday at 08:42 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:42 AM A transitional is a hand gathered marble that is machine roller finished. The "transition" from fully hand made to fully machine made marbles. Early US and Japanese (and others countries?) companies made them in the early 1900's. They don't have to have a tail. And yes, there were both transitional and fully machine made slags. They are among the earliest of machine made marbles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie Posted Monday at 12:19 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:19 PM @SequoiaBET So are all Transitionals actually Slags? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SequoiaBET Posted yesterday at 02:25 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:25 AM Akroorka knows more than I do and has likely seen way more transitionals than I have. I have only a few in my collection. My question for you @akroorka is are the Asian transitionals Slags? The 2 Yasuda's I have resemble Akro corkscrews more than typical slags. Two colors yes, but nice clean corkscrew patterns. For my own learning, as I understand it, slags are defined by more than just how the marble looks- it is also how they are made. Correct? Two colors, white and another, within a single stream of glass. Can you expand on that akroorka? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroaiko Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Hi @aussie and everyone✨ I'm back from Osaka this evening and got an access to my pc.The definition of slags! This thread looks like a good place for me to learn. 😃🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago A slag is defined as any transparent base colored marble (Amber, purple, green, red, etc... ) with opaque white running through it, weather hand gathered or machine made. A transitional is a different animal IMO, some are slag like and some are made of 2 opaque colors, just my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago There it is. A nice clean definition. That matches what I have seen and heard for both slags and transitionals. Thanks Chad! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SequoiaBET Posted just now Report Share Posted just now @Chad G. @akroorka Follow up question- when does a slag become a swirl? So many WVS (and others) fit that definition of a slag. Colored transparent base glass with opaque white ribbons. I have one I'll post in the id section tonight that I'm not sure which it is. Generally I know which ones I call slags and which I call swirls, but what is the actual official difference between a slag and a swirl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
