SequoiaBET Posted yesterday at 03:56 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:56 AM Do the clear windows at the pontils (pic 1 & 6) mean it may be polished? And would it be considered a 4 panel cloud? It has some very light Mica and is 7/8 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it could be argued to be a paneled onionskin Thanks! I'm glad it's not polished. Some of my handmades have such rough pontils and others are very nicely melted down. I wasn't sure it that was a sign of polishing or just a difference in craftsmanship from the original maker. I was also wondering if maybe the higher quality ones were a little older. I've heard that in latter years they were cranked out at a faster pace to try to keep up with increasing demand for them, thus lowering quality. I'm working on learning the difference between onionskin, clouds, and Joseph's coats. With some marbles it is clear, while others seem to blur the lines between categories. (For me, at least.) I need to see if I can find some more discussion on antique Germans on this site or AMM. Any links with more info would be welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
