"Heart Clutch" Size: 1.37" Price: SOLD

This rare trumpet flower from Kobuki features a whopping 6 trumpets in it. The colors and construction of this flower are as awesome as always, but what really makes this marble unique is actually the bottom stem of the flower. On rare occasions John will 'double work' a flower where he takes extra time to pull up the petals of the flower into the glass above and do extra twists, etc. But in this one, he actually double worked the under side of it, twisting 3 of the leaves down around into the very base of the marble. Look closely at the pics and you'll see it there. This is the only one I've ever seen like this, where he worked the base like this. Super sweet effect, making this marble very rare in the Kobuki world! This one is unusually signed with '007' along with John's kanji signature, indicating the year 2007 (he seldom includes the year in the sig)....and maybe some hidden spy capabilities in this marble? Hmmmmm.....
