Description: This is a French Sparkler marble with a very unusual indigo blue base, a lovely cool shade of purplish-ink. Inside there is a wide lobe in yellow, which is given an olive cast by the outer glass. Fine streaks of dark oxblood compliment this simple but efective and moody combination of colours. This coloured base type of Sparkler does not occur very often. Type: A very interesting machine-made variety from Europe, vintage Sparkler marbles were distributed in the 50's and 60's. They typically share a cup-like or lobed form with an icy clear base, floating filaments, misty structures and multicoloured combinations; and have a widely varied, highly collectible and enjoyable character. Some have a characteristic 'orange peel' light texture to the surface; others are very smooth, and they have two neat u-shaped seams. The French type tend to be subtle with lots of veined transparencies in their delicate structure. These attractive marbles were very popular when they were made, but are becoming harder to obtain over time. Sparklers have such wide appeal, and we love them because each individual one presents a world of miniature mesmerising marvels!
