Title: Stoneware marble
Post by: ANCIENTONE on January 19, 2013, 01:53:10 PM

Looking for any info on this marble. I think it is stoneware but I have not seen one similar to this. It is 1-1/8" to 1-1/4". Any ideas as to age or type would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Charlie

Whatever it is, it's unusual. I'd have to ask an professional if it was mine.
