Rose Roads, John Kobuki and Josh Sable: "East Meets West Three" Size: 1.80" Price: SOLD


This is your chance to own one of the most legendary collab marbles ever created, one of THE ORIGINAL 10 marbles from the East Meets West Project, the collabs which literally started it all and brought Junichi Kojima, aka Rose Roads, into mainstream American glass art. Jun's work had not been in American glass AT ALL before this set of marbles that I commissioned to be created by 5 of the best American glass artists. Jun specially created 10 of his icy blue cabs for me and then I gave 2 each to Mike Gong, Gateson Recko, Josh Sable, John Kobuki and Josh Sable. A set of 5 went into my collection and the other 5 were made available to the public. This is historical marbledom at its finest right here, a VERY rare opportunity!

This marble will BLOW...YOUR....MIND in hand. I mean, just a marble with one of Kobuki's famous Opal UV Jellyfish hovering there with Josh's amazing backside design would be a collab for the ages. But THEN we've got one of the coolest Rose Roads discs EVER embedded behind the jellyfish for your viewing pleasure. Really? SERIOUSLY????

Uh yeah, this marble is CRAZY. And trust me, these pictures don't begin to capture the majesty of this marble. For this one, Josh took Rose's disc and Kobuki's jellyfish, and then married the two together before wrapping it all up with his 'chock full o' millie' pinwheeling and a killer showcased opal on the backside. Ha ha, you can't begin to know what it's taking for me to let go of this marble!

I think I'll just stop describing this one and let the pics and video speak for themselves. The pattern in that Rose Roads disc are just mesmerizing, so incredible, so truly astounding that this was made out of glass, one tiny dot at a time. The world has never seen anything like this marble - it is one of the greatest works of glass art to EVER be created to this point in time in human history. Just wait until you get it in hand....
