"Whales at Play", Size: 3.19", Price: SOLD

Big, beautiful and FUN, this marble showcases two different whales at play in the surf, a fantastic representation of this master's work! Looks much better in hand. There is a very small as-made blemish on the lens where David didn't get it polished all the way. I honestly didn't even notice it until after having the marble for over a year, but it's there so I need to mention it. This is a very large and beautiful marble for a price like this, a great buy!

A very fun marble, showing both a Blue Sperm Whale and also an Orca frollicking together!

It is signed 'Salazar 7/06 1-x' meaning it was made in July of '06 and was an experimental marble, never seen another like it.

Many layers are 'painted' with glass, in and out of the furnace, to get this 3D effect.

David chose a very appropriate transparent blue glass and crafted it into a 'wave' on back, looks AWESOME in hand!
