This is an Akro Agate blue Ace with the heaviest load of chocolate oxblood I've ever seen. Chocolate is the rarest type of oxblood that Akro made, and this very large size is almost unheard of. The base glass is a cloudy off white, almost grey, with the cobalt blue and the oxblood right on the surface. The colors run unbroken all around the marble but the pattern is far too unpredictable to be called a corkscrew.
CONDITION: MINT 9.6 The surface is wet and shiny like the day it was made. I can find no evidence of any play or wear at all; in fact, all I can find are some tiny melted dimples from collapsed air bubbles too near the surface and are shown in different views in the pictures.
