Glass Eye Studio with Ro Purser: "Cisco Red" Size: 2.15" 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 were 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 were able to select the style of marbles they want for certain year awards. This marble here is one of the 10 year marbles. There are 12 marbles in the series altogether, 2 for each 5 year period up to 30 years. 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 red and gold dichro swirl, with some gold leaf on the backside of it as well. You can also see there are 5 star milli images worked into the design also, floating up above, 'in the sky'. Very nicely done and a beautiful example of this style, the best one that I've sold! This is one of the 10 year awards. 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.

I have stands available as well which were made specifically for these marbles. Please see them in the marble stands gallery further down the main Glass ORBits page.
