Modern Handmade Marbles
Contemporary glass artists are producing some absolutely stunning marbles today. Once you see and handle some you may find yourself, as I have, drawn toward collecting modern handmade marbles.
Some are fashioned in the artist's individual style, while others are fashioned after the antique German handmade styles like the onionskin. In either case, what you always get with modern handmade marbles is their stunning "wet mint" condition, something few can afford in the antique handmade market. There seems to be a limitless variety of these beauties that are worthy of any display case. I consider them not just art, but investments.
You can easily find some excellent handmades from budding glass artists for as low as $10. This should be an encouragement to any marble collector on a budget, as well as to anyone looking to give a beautiful, unique gift.
