"Grin & Bear The Kaleidoscope" Size: 1.77" Price: SOLD


Here is another of Masataka's latest design, the kaleidoscope marble! Each marble in his kscope series has a viewing window at the very top of the marble, which allows you to then peer inside the marble and get a kaleidoscopic sort of effect from the magnification of the pattern on the other side. The light shines through beautifully and really lights it up magically! Overall it is a stunningly beautiful design, with amazing colors all coming from the silver leaf inlay which Masa painstakingly applies to the entire carved design. This one features a 360 degree Grateful Dead rainbow dancing bear scene, with an amazing stained glass smiling bear window on the bottom which you can view in magnified fashion through the interior (seen in the last 2 pics). Masa created these with his latest equipment and was able to get the most intricate detail in a design yet!! It is painfully hard to let go of this incredible marble, uuugh. These are true glass gems and are wonderful complements to other larger Joei marbles which you might have in your collection! Signed with Masa's Kanji stamp inside the lid of the wooden box which the marble comes in.
