"Yoda Crystal Ball", Size: 2.97", Price: SOLD

This is a very large and exceptional example of Jesse's 'Crystal Balls'. I have seen much smaller and not nearly as nice examples going for $600 in galleries, so this is also a GREAT price on this one. This magical sphere contains the mystical Yoda next to his magic opal with mushrooms, trees and plants around, and then of course his UFO spacecraft is in the background in the sky.

If you've never seen one of these in hand, then you're missing out. They're a lot better than the pics look, because the whole scene is actually in 3D effect. Jesse created layer upon layer of scenery to give the 3-dimensional impression of actually looking into a crystal ball. It is awesome!! Many of Jesse's best-loved murrines are seen in this marble, Jesse being another of the boro masters when it comes to constructing boro murrine.

This marble is signed and dated 2002. Jesse no longer makes marbles like this, in fact I don't think he is making marbles at all any longer, and on top of that, this is one of the finer examples you'll see of his work. Don't miss it!
