Lot 343:
A Collection of Vintage and Modern Machine-Made Marbles in a Decorative Basket
Description
This collection comprises numerous glass marbles of various sizes, styles, and colors, housed within a white, possibly plastic, rectangular basket featuring a decorative, openwork curvilinear pattern on its sides. The marbles present a diverse array of designs, including solid colors (red, yellow, green, blue, black), translucent and opaque types with internal swirls, ribbons, or “cat’s eye” patterns in multiple hues, and at least one larger white marble speckled with red. The variety of manufacturing styles suggests a collection potentially spanning from the mid-20th century to modern production. No discernible text or manufacturer markings are visible on any of the marbles or the container.
