Marble rejects or beads, is there a hole?

 

[huffmnd]

Well I don't know, they seem too big for beads, maybe something to do with marbles? Here are some more pics for an idea of size.

if they were marbles they would be awsome.maybe just some whimsey pieces.if you could tell us were you got them and any history or story that goes with them,unless you dug them then maybe what the age of other stuff you found arpund them was.anyway they a cool looking pieces of glass and thanx for sharing.

Really nice pieces of glass. Could be decorative eggs, they look a bit too perfect up close to be marble castoffs. Were they bought or found?

 

[DiggerBryan]

I think they look like eggs too. Probably some kind of decorative piece.

Hi huffmnd,

Look to be decorative glass eggs. They did make egg shaped pieces for darning and repairing socks long ago. Some were just egg shaped, solid or hollow. some had handles of wood or even glass.

I bought these because they matched two others that were given to me some time back. I never did find out what the others were, they were black and white and had a solid green core. I had people telling me that they were glass eyes used for taxidermy but I really don't believe that because of the nailsea pattern on them and when I found these that pretty much told me that they are something else.
