Identification summary
The Vitro Agate Parrot is a highly collectible machine-made marble characterized by an opaque white base with distinct patches or ribbons of vibrant green and yellow. The 'twisted' description provided by the user refers to the characteristic Vitro 'V' or 'U' shape formed during the shearing process, which often leaves a slightly raised or textured 'cut line' where the glass was twisted as it dropped into the rollers.
