See Our Shop Here: C o l l e c t i b l e M a r b l e s. An Early Antique German Handmade’Ribbon Core’ Marble. A fantastic naked capped double ribbon core marble which terminates with a finely-crafted hand-faceted pontil, indicating that it was made during the earlier phase of swirl production between 1860 and 1880. Marbles from this era are valued for their cleanly finished appearance and quality and are very collectible. The beautiful clear glass has a thick outer layer which enhances the luscious colours and form of the core, showcasing two white-backed and blue-ribbed blades; fringed in red. Capping the design are two opposing streamers of green and red stripes against a yellow backing. With no other exterior decor, the fantastic styling is clearly visible. As with capped examples, naked ribbons like this are very desirable. Like all ribbon cores this belongs to a specialist class of marble. Exemplifying the tantalising appeal and quality of antique marbles, ribbon cores were the least commonly produced of the German handmade swirls. Made in the latter 19th and early 20th C, they required great skill to produce. They are so colourful and have a dramatic and elegant styling that gives immediate aesthetic impact when handled. Ribbon cores have only one or two ribbon-like bands of colour in the middle (unlike the much more common divided core type, which has three bands or more). These are often composed of a blade or vane with a series of coloured glass rods making distinct stripes, in an enormous variety of combinations and styles – sometimes with translucent colours, or backed with a different colour on the reverse giving the colours a vibrant radiance. Double ribbons can be symmetrical or varied. Ribbon cores often exhibit desirable features such as tornado twists; naked exteriors, capped ribbons and brilliant colours; and some have a thin core known as a razor ribbon. All antique ribbon types have a pontil indicating their age, and some are early period with beautiful faceted pontils. This captivating and lovely type of marble commands a high interest amongst collectors. Please see the title for the size, which is given in mm and inches. Please view the photos to reveal the surfaces, forms and colours of the marble, this allows a visual evaluation of condition.
