Ten glass marbles which came for fizzy drinks bottles. The marbles which were integrated into a bulb in the bottle neck and prevented the escape of the gas from carbonated bottled drinks. During the pouring process the marble dropped into an enlarged part of the bulb permitting escape of the liquid. The marbles are a green colour with varying degrees of abrasion possibly caused by their use by children playing marbles.

Dimensions: Diameter 18 mm
