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.

This framed German birth and baptism certificate, called a Fraktur, is from Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. It’s an early 1802 woodblock that is hand colored. It has a central heart shape, with flowers, tulips and birds around it. These frakturs came to be recognized as an early folk-art form and were often used to embellish certificates, bookplates and official documents. This certificate commemorates the birth of a son named Christian Fisher, born July 6, 1794, to John Fischer and his wife Hanna. The son received holy baptism on July 17, 1794. The frame measures approximately 14″ x 17″. Overall, this fraktur is in very good condition, and the colors are still vibrant and beautiful. It has only some light staining around the edges. This rare piece of history would appeal to historians and art collectors alike.
