Rare Early Lobed Solid Core German Handmade Antique Marble 22mm 27/32 1860s 80s
Posted by admin On May 10, 2026
Visit Our Shop Here: C o l l e c t i b l e M a r b l e s. For A Wide Range. An Antique German Handmade’Lobed Solid Core’ Marble. This marble is a rare find, having a lobed solid core with a fantastic corkscrew twist. The projecting lobes are what defines this type, and in this case they are spun into a great spiral revolving tightly through the marble. The’peaks’ of the lobes are neatly picked out in jelly pink rods; and the’valleys’ are laid with ultramarine in a classic peppermint colour scheme; enhanced by the clean white base colour. Lobed marbles are distinct from ridged or standard varieties of solid core and are very sought after by collectors. The marble dates from between 1860 – 1880; with a hand-faceted pontil indicating production during this early period of the German cane glass marble industry. Marbles from this phase are harder to find; and valued for their smooth finish. The core colour contributes to value and desirability: white is the most common; followed by yellow then orange, with other colours such as baby blue, red and green being considered unusual or rare. Sometimes the core is striped or ribbed with thin rods of colours, and occasionally the core is composed of panelled panes. Antique marbles in the solid core class are always a sought-after variety because of their charming colours and structure – they usually have a clear glass matrix with a decorative surround, encompassing the central solid core which usually reaches from top to bottom. They are one of the fundamental types produced by makers working in the 19th c German glass factories, and come in a delightful range of styles and colour combinations. Please see the title for the size, which is given in mm and inches”. With some light scratching and an as made stretched bubble. Please view the photos.

Coffee roaster, rare early type, 18th century
Posted by admin On May 8, 2026
Coffee Roaster – a rare antique hand-held wrought iron coffee bean roaster, believed to be Italian or of an Italian design (I recall seeing one of these in Italy) and dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. The ball-end is placed in the embers of the hearth, and turned frequently for an even roast. The piece measures 64cm long and the ball is about 12cm diameter. I’ve successfully roasted fresh coffee beans, then ground them in a manual grinder – all very satisfying. With some practice it delivers a smoky rich coffee – for a unique Capuccino before 10.30 only please… Neoplolitan standards must be maintained, or a cheeky machiato or espresso to accompany your afternoon fritelli venexiana standing at the banco, of course, an emotion best recollected in tranquility. It’s also a great mystery object talking-piece. The exterior has been given an ocassional light rub with bees wax to inhibit corrosion – a treatment I’m considering myself.
