"Chocolate Lutz" Size: 1.20" Price: SOLD

Continuing in the 'early history' section of Matthews' marbles is this wonderful chocolate lutz marble made in 1991. Again, made over 20 years in the past, a wonderful example of art glass marble history! Mark has always used THE best gold lutz around, and it sparkles so beautifully. He once told me how hard it is to get, and thus how precious. This is an elegant and beautiful marble, signed 'Matthews 1991'. There is some as-made cloudiness in the glass at the bottom of the marble, and you can see Mark signed right over top of whatever that is in the glass. I wonder if Mark did this on purpose, as he made this style of marble to mimic some of the antique handmades, and they would have this sort of thing at the pontils as well, and he's definitely the type of guy who would take a design to its fullest.
