Nice Big Lot of Old Clay Marbles in Shades of Gray 19th century american painting The colors in images areJust some more antique clay marbles, because I can't get enough, and I love how much seeing so many different shades of gray together. It looks like there is one white china marble mixed in, with pale orange and gray stripes, too. About 75 of them here, making for a luxurious bowl full.
