Roberto Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 I understand that it has many characteristics to be so, but in my opinion it is not. It has glass that is too clean and clear to be a whispler (from my monitor) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 If you found it in the wild in America then probably an American maker about which I know very little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just considering yesterday the various possibilities of this production, even though I must admit that it is a bit of a difficult marble, which seems like a hybrid of Whispler (which rightly inspired you) and Master.

I don't really agree with this. Here, in the United States, there are marbles coming from every part of the world that you can't even imagine. Including Italian ceramic marbles made by Laura Berretti,...would you ever have said?

RosalieR Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Roberto, this thread is so helpful! You mentioned the stronger seams in Master. From your examples, it seems like the filaments and striations of Whisplers are more wobbly. The Masters are more straight and decisive. Does that seem correct or am I imagining things? Another thing I wonder about is the amount of clear space between the filaments. It seems like Whisplers are sometimes more spaced out. The size of the bubbles also strikes me — I have a few bubbly Masters but the bubbles are tiny. Here are three that I have, which I think might be Whisplers. (Two photos of each) What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, RosalieR- Your observations are very correct, congratulations! Yes, as I was saying, the joints of the Masters are generally cleaner, more defined, indeed, also regarding the filaments I agree with you. As for bubbles, many whisplers have an exaggerated amount (although it is not a rule) of bubbles of all sizes, large, small, and medium, enclosed in a single marble,...something that is very difficult or even impossible to notice in a Master. Yes, your three are 100% whisperers, the first one is crazy! It's one of those rare clean ones, with very few or no bubbles and a nice green glass. What size is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
