Lot 56:
Various Manufacturers, Bulk Collection of Vintage and Modern Marbles, Glass and Clay, Mid-20th Century to Modern
Description
A diverse bulk collection of unbranded vintage and modern marbles. The lot is predominantly composed of machine-made glass spheres in various sizes, alongside at least two unglazed clay or ceramic examples. The collection features a wide array of patterns including cat’s eyes, swirls, ribbons, and clearies. Notable pieces within the lot display iridescent oil-slick finishes, speckled or glittered interiors, opaque solids, and multi-coloured patches. No original packaging or mechanism is present. This lot represents a typical mid-20th century to contemporary play collection.
Condition report:
The marbles are in played-with condition, exhibiting varying degrees of surface wear, scuffing, and minor pitting consistent with age. No significant fractures or major chips are immediately visible upon general inspection, though individual pieces have not been microscopically examined. The lot is sold as a complete, unsearched collection.
