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 5 year marbles, suuuper rare and very hard to find out in the wild for some reason. 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, similar to the one pictured, plus a black baggie (not pictured) which the case slips into. A very nice presentation.

This particular marble has colored dots placed on a twisted bright white core. This is the funnest marble of the bunch and it's REALLY nicely done. Don't miss this opportunity! 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.
