This is an outstanding example of a very rare design called Marbrie, made from colored glass trailed around a white core and drawn up the sides with a pointed tool to meet in the center. The coloration is unusual, alternating red, white and green, with a centrally-placed cane which is very difficult to achieve evenly.
