My intention with these marbles is to represent the spirit of some of the vintage collectible colors and combinations. These marbles are my tribute to the great American Machine Made Marble period that started in the early 1900's and was led by a handful of creative innovators.

In the interest of paying tribute to some of the incredible styles and colors created during the 1920's through the 1950's I have worked at understanding the machines and techniques used to mass produce marbles. I, however, do make my marbles one at a time by hand and am not able to simulate exactly the way the machines would roll the glass to make the marbles round. I also try to add my own style and techniques to making marbles to give them a bit of originality.

All the marbles I make are signed with MC, and have been annealed to assure that they will not crack.
