Vintage Crease-Pontil Transitional Yasuda Marble. This a bright and funky version of the Yasuda Transitional marble, and is less common that the translucent base type - with a white opaque base matrix that really throws out the colour of the active, spontaneous-looking swirl. This type of marble is sometimes known as a transitional, because it illustrates the technological movement from the completely hand-made marbles of the early 20th century, to the later automated production styles of the latter half of the century onwards. Made during the 1940's, in the Yasuda factory in Japan, they display well, with interesting '9' and 'tails' forms, drizzle patterns and surface cooling marks. Yasuda Transitionals have a crease -type pontil with a distinctive curve and delicate 'eyelash' wrinkles.The opaque types share a bright and retro classic colour palette, with a highly collectible and enjoyable character. They were very popular when they were made, and are becoming harder to obtain over time. Size: Please see the title for the size, which is recorded in fractions of an inch. Condition: Mint - , with a light fracture. Yasuda marbles have a distinctively crinkled crease pontil, and often feature drizzles and tails across the surface, giving them a textural character. Some have little pop holes from their bubbly glass.
