"Extravaganza" Size: 2.01" Price: SOLD

This is the original 'Fireworks' marble created by Aki, and there have only been a couple others of these made that I know of. I bought this from Aki when we were in Japan in 2007 for the Kobe Lampworking Festa and it has been in my collection ever since. In my quest to keep my collection trimmed down a bit, I have decided to let this one go after adding a different Aki marble to the collection. It has been one of my very favorite marbles and I know one of you will get great enjoyment out of it.

It is such a clever design, with multiple 'bursts' of fireworks inside, on varying levels, all very 3-dimensional and so cool to look at. I love the different colors Aki achieved with the fireworks. It is a very special marble. There are some join lines in there where the clear sections have come together, something that is impossible to avoid with boro. They look much more pronounced in the pictures than in hand, and they've never bothered me, as this marble was a favorite. You'll know what I mean when you see it. It's just one of those super unique marbles that there are very few of, and this one especially is a real treat.
