Hi there;
There have seen some marbles posted here and I have some of the old cat eyes ones etc -- but I have this Marble with some** Silver Flecks** in it. Might it be older? Rare? Tried to get a good pic of it.....
I would think Murano ( maybe ) ????
Thanks for LOOKING / LOVING!!

That's pretty. Looks like my (crazy) cat's eyes. I saw a display of marbles in an antique shop last week for 17K!! There were several other cases that had them in ball jars but they were kind of hidden. I need to run back in there for something my daughter saw. I'll snap a pic. Sorry but that's the best I can do. :)
I think if this were Murano it would have the controlled bubble to it, don't you? I love the silver specs. They're like pixie dust.
There are lots of sites with lots of marble info, but I have to say...good luck! There are tons of variations. In this case, the ones like this with I think it's 5 different colors are the ones worth the bucks. Still, doesn't everyone love marbles???
Looks good!
I'm lost when it comes to marbles, just way too many different ones for me to comprehend,lol.
I remember playing with these as a kid back in the 1800's lol. I don't think it's Murano as the ones I've seen have a much more elaborate design. Very cool!
It is most likely German!..:-)
