"Circus ReRun" Size: 1.34" Price: SOLD


These 'ReRun' marbles were made during a special time when Brett and Larry got together with fellow marble legend Mark Matthews and John McCormick in order to use leftover marble nubs in John's marbleous marble machine. These 'nubs' are the leftover pieces of glass pulled off the end of a cane when a marble is being rounded out. Sometimes they are trashed, but the Hot House guys and Mark both had been saving theirs over the years. With the help of John's machine, which takes hot glass chunks and rounds them into marbles, they were able to take trios of the marble nubs and then reconstitute them into new marbles after heating them up and dropping them into the machine. The results are suuuuuuper fun little marblicious bites of marble history which every collector needs in their collection! These are the types of things that make marble collecting SO fun - the various ingenious ways that the artists come up with to turn beautiful glass into even more beautiful spheres. I looove how each section in this one looks like a circus tent or balloon, with alternating dichro and white, SO sweet! Signed with Hot House symbol and also 'JM 2016'.
