"Twisted 3-Way Wrong Way" Size: 1.58" Price: SOLD

Here's a chance for you to own a fascinating and unique early marble from the master of furnace color, James Alloway. This is a marble James was playing around with, and he twisted it the 'wrong way' compared to how he usually does it, so you see the usual pattern on the inside of the marble instead of on the outside. This is a marble James kept in his personal collection for a while, until I visited his home several years ago and convinced him to sell it to me. It is an early marble from him, signed 'Alloway 7-04 #3', indicating it is the 3rd marble in this series, made in August of 2004. A difficult marble for me to let go of, but it's time for it to go to a new home.

By the way, check out the close-up pic showing the teensy marble James put inside this marble, which has the exact same pattern as the main large marble!! OK, just kidding that's just a round air bubble which is reflecting the latticino bands - but still, exactly how sweet is THAT!!!
