Graded. Described. Ready to own.
Little glass planets, properly graded.
Just Marbles is a fresh look at an old obsession. Every marble gets scanned, graded and written up before it hits the shop — so you know exactly what you're buying, and what it's actually worth. No hype, no invented prices.
- Honest condition grades
- Worldwide shipping
- Padded, tracked, insured
Four photos in. A full listing out.
The backend engine does the heavy lifting: it scans your photos, grades condition, narrows the maker and era, then writes the copy, title and gallery for a store-ready listing. You stay in control of the yes.
01. Snap four photos
Front, angle, seam or pontil close-up, and a dry shot with a millimetre scale. Phone camera is plenty.
02. The engine scans
Our vision pass reads pattern, construction, glass type and surface condition — then ranks likely makers with confidence levels, not guesses.
03. Grade + real comps
A condition grade, a plain-English description, and pricing pulled from actual sold results. If the comps aren't there, we say so.
04. Listing goes live
Title, copy, gallery and category are generated automatically and pushed straight into the store. You just approve.
The shop
Antique German handmades, American machine-made classics, and modern studio art glass. Basket and checkout run on our connected store — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and PayPal all welcome.

Our resident marble nerd. She knows her Peltier from her Ravenswood, loves a good corkscrew, and will happily talk you through eras, patterns and storage. She will never invent a price — that's what real sold comps are for.

Hey! I'm Swirlie. Ask me anything about marbles — makers, eras, patterns, grading, storage. I won't make up prices, ever.
