"Clown to the Max" Size: 3.18" Price: SOLD


Mark used to make clown filigranas (filigrana marbles with 14 different cane) about every 5 years, but it hasn't happened since 2010, so that era might be over, especially since Mark has gotten up there in age and it is a VERY hard, long, hot, intensive process to pull these off. This makes it all the more important to get some of these early clowns into your collection, as these are wildly awesome and historic marbles!! This gem is from 2005, which was in my opinion the greatest year ever for MM clowns, and it's the largest 2005 that I've ever sold. The variety of cane Mark used is jaw-dropping, each one flawlessly executed and sooooo beautiful! He created this one on a gray base, with the other option being a chocolate brown base. The layout of the cane on the different clowns are all slightly different, and I LOVE the layout of this one! Those pink and blue canes just POP!! This is an AWESOME marble, don't miss it! Signed 'Matthews 2005'.
