I'llhavethat1 Posted Friday at 12:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:15 PM From the pics looks like a faceted pontil Greiner (Germany ~1850's). Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, thanks, the transparent blue did actually remind me a little of the only Indian marble that I have. Not done any research into Greiner yet, probably because I thought the chances of me ending up with one were so low, but it's next on the list now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LevvyPoole Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 22 hours ago So, I didn't really focus on the feel of the pontil before, but now I rub my finger over it, it definitely feels smoother and flatter than the surrounding area. Would this indicate the ground pontil type? @akroorka @I'llhavethat1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago I cannot really make out the pontil in your image but a ground pontil would show a ruffer texture and a melted pontil would feel smooth like the surrounding glass. Hope this helps. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
