This is an old German handmade divided ribbon core marble from the 19th century with three well spaced ribbons of blue and pink on white in the core and three sets of three outer lines right above the spaces between the ribbons. This is a well made marble. The base glass is a slightly flourescent clear that is just filled with bubbles of all sizes.
CONDITION: MINT(-) 9.1 There are no hits, fractures, sparkles or any other signs of play or wear, but there is one flake?, visible in the second picture near the pontil mark, that looks like a sizeable bubble came to the surface and half of it is still there. There is also a preponderance of tiny dimple depressions with melted edges that I would guess are where a few of that myriad of bubbles almost made it to the surface. | |||||
