Gateson Recko and Josh Sable: "Blossoming Cage " Size: 1.39" Price: SOLD

These Recko/Sable collaborations represent the absolute pinnacle in American flameworking, bringing together two of the best marble artists that the world has to offer - the Two Great Ones. These happened when Josh took a rare trip to Albuquerque, NM to visit Gateson, and they spent a week on the torch together creating some of the most amazing marbles the world has ever seen. A unique combination of their two styles, these marbles showcase what each artist has accomplished over their illustrious careers, bringing together Gateson's reflections on space with Josh's mastery of the retticello, wigwags and millie snaps. It's quite possible this will be the only time this happens, and these marbles are now rare as rare can be, and highly sought after by the best of collections. Masterful collaborations by two well-established masters, who, when all is said and done, will be looked on as two of the greatest artists of the new contemporary marble movement. These marbles represent your chance to own a special piece of marble history, as exciting and inspired as these things come.

Here is another collab that features two of the best styles from these masters - the Caged Opal from Gateson, and the imploded flower ratty from Josh. Gateson invented this caged opal 2 or 3 years ago, and it's been one of my favorite inclusions in his Universe and Empyrean Sphere marbles ever since. Very appropriate that it should show up in one of these collabs, the ONLY collab with this feature, resting on a beautiful Empyrean Sphere. The other side of the marble features a beautiful white flower ratty from Josh, one of the famous styles that put Josh on the map to stay. This marble is a complete CLASSIC!!!
