Large 1.5" Vintage Handmade Swirl Marble Red White Blue Yellow Pontil

A big, hand-made glass marble with real collector appeal. Swirl marbles like this were cut from hand-pulled glass canes by German glasshouses in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the large 1.5 inch size was the one every kid wanted as a shooter and collectors still hunt for today. Red, white and blue core bands run from pole to pole through clear glass, wrapped in fine yellow outer strands, a patriotic colorway that looks great in a dish, jar or display case.
