Here is a stunning collab between the Aki the Japanese master and Mark Eastman aka 'Introvert Glass'. I think you'll agree that Mark's patterned implosion side is magnificently beautiful, with amazing colors used and achieved. I believe it was backed with a transparent purple glass which just adds to the beauty. Aki's reticello side is brilliant as well, with lots of detail added to make it such a complex and killer design. Aki brought marble together with a band of AWESOME crushed opal sparkle, and it seriously pops in hand. This is an exceedingly gorgeous marble making it oh so difficult to let go of, but I know one of you collectors out there is going to get great joy over the years from this one. I know I already have!! I purchased this from Aki at the 2016 AGE show in Vegas, and it has the glamour and glitz to go with it, ha.
