The marble you found is what collectors call a pinwheel design. It would be a more common type, although they are very collectable just not super expensive. It looks like it's in great shape:-)

Can you measure the diameter and add this to the thread?

Anyway here are the images below any input would be appreciated:-)

Bill

That is a nice one and a good size! That blue leaf or feathered pinwheel on the one side is unusual. Here is an okay 1&3/8 example.

Hi Gary, yours looks like an early period China (more value, better bisque, rounder better made and more precise painting) and even in that good condition will offer $200. because of size!

Hi Countryboy271, yours is a middle period China (not as well made as the early period, paint not as precise, not as round) condition on yours looks the high side of near mint will offer $150. because of the size & blue leaf or feathered pinwheel, the opposite pinwheel is a little crude.

Don't know if either of you were looking for the value on these, but there you have it. Gary am pretty sure you're like a black hole, no marbles ever leave! LOL!!!
