Sweetie, if I had a marble, I'd ,for sure, be polishing it!

OR — TC, that means another possibility from the purveyor of improbabilities:-

Strange & Rare p27 item 85 — cupped spherical bowl with flared rim mounted on a base of four balls arranged as a triangular pyramid.   Dated rather unhelpfully 19th/20th Century.

I saw one of these at a glass fair about five years ago as I was walking past a stand thinking about something completely different.   So I braked, came to a halt, went into reverse, and arrived back in time to see another dealer handing over cash for it.   And it was so cheap it still hurts.

TC — It's not the Webb centrepiece foot, as these are squashed, the shape of curling stones.   So the illustration in The Glass Circle's Strange & Rare is all I can suggest.

Okay, thanks.
One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. William Hartnell
