Glass Eye Studio with Ro Purser: "Cisco Blue" Size: 2.08" Price: SOLD

In 2009/2010, Ro Purser teamed up with Glass Eye Studio to design a group of marbles for the Cisco Systems Corporation. These marbles are being given away for 5 year, 10 year, 15 year (etc.) awards to employees of the company - yeah, I know, why couldn't I work for Cisco?!? Employees are able to select the style of marbles they want for each award. As you can see, the marbles also come with very attractive cherry wood cases made specially for these marbles, plus a black baggie (not pictured) which the case slips into. A very nice presentation.

This particular marble is the blue and white swirl, achieved by combining layers of bright white and transparent blue glass together, and working it into a sweet sphere. Very nicely done! These marbles are a major slice of history in the contemporary art glass marble movement, and every collection should strive to add at least one. Comes with the wooden case and baggie.
