English Sparkler
Handmade (German Origin) · Victorian Era (c. 1870-1890)
Identification summary
The English Sparkler is a highly prized variety of antique handmade German glass marble. It is distinguished by a dense, chaotic, and vibrant explosion of colorful glass strands or ribbons that radiate from the center toward the surface, often lacking a formal 'core' structure found in Latticinio marbles.
