Description from the seller

Beautiful antique German Joseph’s Coat glass marble, presumably manufactured in the famous glass region Thüringen/Lauscha around the turn of the 20th century.

The marble features a very colorful and characteristic Joseph’s Coat pattern, built from many wavy glass threads in red, orange, yellow-green, blue, white and dark tones. The different colors run like ribbons and spirals through the transparent glass core.

On both sides the characteristic hand finish is visible. In particular the large, original pontil is clearly recognizable. This is a feature that fits the traditional manufacture of early German handmade glass marbles.

With a diameter of 3 cm it is a nicely large specimen.

Specifications:

* Type: Joseph’s Coat
* Origin: Germany, presumably Thüringen/Lauscha
* Period: circa 1900
* Handmade glass
* Very colorful multicolor swirl/ribbon pattern
* Original pontil
* Diameter: 3.0 cm
* Weight: 37.53 grams
* Unmarked
* No known restoration
* Good antique condition

The marble shows light signs of aging and use, commensurate with its age. The pontil is original and not damaged.

A particularly decorative and interesting collectible for enthusiasts of antique German glass marbles and Joseph’s Coat marbles.

Carefully packed and shipped by registered mail/insured.
