Why this candidate
At 52 mm, this marble far exceeds standard vintage machine-made sizes (which topped out around 1.25–1.5 inches). The clear base, clean translucent purple central fold, and precision cobalt/metallic spiral trails strongly align with contemporary handmade furnace or torchwork marbles.
