John Gentile, "Million Flowers" Size: 1.97" Price: SOLD


This is a special piece of glass history here, as this marble made by John Gentile of Gentile Glass epitomizes the connection between marbles and the rest of the world of glass. John was a studio glass artist who has now passed away, but made lots of beautiful glass in the 80's and 90's on into the early 2000's. His millefiori cane, as seen here, was bright and colorful, and this was his signature style for his marbles, to pack as much of it as he could into a large sphere. In the 90's, these were some of the coolest marbles around, a colorful foreshadowing of the amazing things to come in the world of art glass marbles. These are now important collector pieces, highlighting the early years of the art glass marble movement, and every comprehensive collection needs one of these Gentile milli marbles in it!
