Mermaid Marble
The little mermaid...
Sea glass codd marble is top and bottom drilled and fitted between a silver mermaid, comes with a silver plated chain in length of your choice. Mermaid is silver coloured on a copper base.
SIZE
Marble is 17mm diameter, mermaid incl marble is approx 3cm long. Marble is fitted, and from the West Coast of England / Cumbria. Comes with a silver plated chain in length of your choice.
CODD MARBLES: The Codd-neck bottle was designed and manufactured to enclose a marble and a rubber washer/gasket in the neck. The bottles are filled upside down, and pressure of the gas in the bottle forced the marble against the washer, sealing in the carbonation. The bottle was pinched into a special shape, as can be seen in the photo to the right, to provide a chamber into which the marble was pushed to open the bottle. This prevented the marble from blocking the neck as the drink was poured. Codd bottles were used until the 1920s in Scotland/UK.
Sea glass marble found on the rough coasts of Cumbria, just below the Scottish border.
