"Murrini Sphere" Size: 2.47" Price: SOLD

This is Ro's most famous marble, if we can call this astounding work of glass art a mere 'marble', ha. Yeah, sphere is probably a better term. The value of these spheres keeps increasing steadily over time, and this movement is still young, so this is an incredible investment opportunity, beyond the shear beauty of this orb, and the astounding amount of time it took Ro to create a sphere like this. With all of the murrini included here, you are looking at literally months of work to arrive at this finished product. Then there's the question of how Ro even managed to construct a marble like this - you look at it and your mind says HUH??? Truly amazing.

This is an early example of Ro's murrini spheres, very valuable. An added bonus is the kaleidoscopic effect you get when you look inside the sphere while it is backlit and see all the wonderful colors on the inside. So, sooo cool! There is one shot of a heart you can see inside. There is also a shot of Ro's signature chip embedded in the design, made before he started including the year.

A truly astounding work of art!!
