Antique dyed clay marble with original hand-painted rings

This is an example of a hard-to-find, hand painted clay marble. Ringed marbles like this were typically placed on a rotating stand with the coloring agent applied with a brush.

This marble just passes through a 9/16-inch ring. It has purple lined ring on a pink dyed base. It has a small flake on the surface.

This is a genuine antique clay marbles with original coloration. It is not to be confused with the fakes sometimes sold on ebay where a genuine antique clay marble have been hand-decorated with flowers and other designs using felt markers.
