Bunch of Antique Clay Marbles - Batch 4 hanging planter With a little research II fell in love with antique clay marbles through finding a bag at my local flea market last summer, and have been keeping an eye out ever since. I just think they're beautiful, and want to fill every pretty bowl I have with them! Plus I think rolling them around in the hand must be good for stress relief. I recently scored a whole bunch a mixed lot of dyed and undyed and have divided them up into groups of fifty or so, which I'm listing individually.
