Every serious contemporary art glass marble collector needs a cane like this in their collection! This cane essentially shows us how a marble is constructed using the furnace method, where a glass cane is made, and then marbles are rounded off the end of it one by one, usually giving the artist several marbles per cane. This is a beautiful example of Jody Fine's work. Jody's nickname is 'Captain Marble', as he is one of the earliest pioneers in marble making, getting his start clear back in the late 70's. I can't imagine how many marbles he has created over the last 30 years!
This cane is signed on the end 'Fine 08'. Jody almost never signs his work, making this cane even more special! The end of the cane has an added bonus in that you can see a cross section of what the cane looks like inside.
