Original Description:
A special Commemorative set of marbles made by members of the Davis family in honor of the family matriarch, Margaret L. Davis. A rare and desirable set, seldom seen available for sale. There are 7 marbles in this set, one from each of the Davis' children (Steve, Rick, Mike, John, Mark & Joe) and one from the family patriarch, Jim Davis. The Davis family is considered the 'First Family' of marble making. Jim Davis spent his life devoted to glass working, and was one of the first gl...ass artists to make handmade contemporary art glass marbles.  His 6 children all followed in his footsteps, for varying lengths of time and with varying success. Unfortunately, medical issues caused Jim to stop making marbles not long after this set was made. He passed away a short time later. The Davis' were some of the nicest people one could ever have the pleasure of meeting. Jim and Margaret Davis, along with the children, were well respected within the marble community. Each marble is approximately 1.5" in diameter. Each marble was made by a different family member. All pieces are signed by the artists. The set includes the wood base with attached metal plaque, and glass stands for each marble. Also, the original certificate of authenticity is also included (not pictured). This set is from 2001. There were a limited number of sets created; all of them selling out rather quickly. This is set number 50. This set was set aside by the Davis family to be kept in the family, and was never offered for sale to the public. Long after all the sets made available for sale to the public were sold out, they were kind enough to release it from their personal collection and let me purchase it. Now I am passing along this rare opportunity to own a significant piece of marble history.Any blurriness or shadows are probably due to my limited photography skills and not glass workmanship. Color is represented to the best of my ability, but different lighting has a big effect on the appeared color of an object. I offer combined shipping for reduced shipping costs. Be sure to check my auctions every week. In the coming weeks and months I will auctioning off several more pieces with many with Buy It Now pricing.
