"40 Pieces of Ro" Size: 3.22" Price: SOLD


Celebrating 40 YEARS of making marbles is this special puzzle sphere, the epitome of everything Ro has learned about glass and been able to accomplish. It is signed with a 'Ro 40' sig chip to signify that Ro made this marble in 2013, 40 years after making the first marbles in Northern California that would start the modern art glass marble movement.

It's just crazy to think that Ro could even create something like this! I mean, somehow puzzle pieces of glass, which were hot and molten at some point and then hot and molten again during the creation of this sphere, had to be brought together in perfect unison in order to make everything line up PERFECTLY like it does here. What's even MORE awesome is that each of those puzzle pieces is a chunk of Ro's awesome night sky!! Just study the pics, it will BLOW your mind. A centerpiece sphere for ANY marble collection on the planet, for sure. What's even more fun is that you can look through the hole in the color in the bottom and see a kaleidoscopic display of color inside the marble with light behind it! So awesome, don't miss this opportunity!
