Roger Parramore, "Color Storm" Size: 1.35" Price: SOLD


Roger Parramore is one of the stalwarts of the borosilicate glass scene, having worked as an artist and advancer of the industry for over 30 years now. Well known for his sculptural form, he occasionally made a vortex marble here and there, and each one is a sweet slice of history. He has sometimes been credited as the originator of the vortex marble, but when the subject is argued, it all depends on whether you consider his vortices a true vortex or not, since they don't have the same depth as those done by Kevin O'Grady, who is generally considered the father of the vortex. Regardless, Roger pushed the boundaries with his design and at the very least incubated the concept, and thus these marbles of his are all historical in nature. All of his marbles I know of, like this one, come from the early 2000's, and this one here is a REALLY neat example of his work, with all sorts of colors melded together to form the perfect storm inside a marble! Signed 'RP 03'.
