I can see how someone can get stuck on collecting marbles. Some of those modern ones are stunning!

I don't often stray from vintage; but have been known to on occasion (I do adore my Winlocks!)! And I agree, there are some stunning contemporaries out there. I try to avoid looking at them for fear of not being able to contain myself.

Yeah, I sat for over an hour looking at marble websites, and of course the ones I liked were the $$$ ones, like above. Still, educational!
