As you may know (especially if you read the bio), Jared created an uber historic run of marbles called his Watergarden Series, limited to 100 marbles. The first 10 marbles from that run are some of the most sought after pieces out there, and this one is #7 from that series, a super early gem that will take your mind to a hidden place of peace when you see how gorgeous it is. Not only is this an early Watergarden marble, but it is also one of the first basket style marbles from Jared, and possibly the first one since I've never seen an earlier one. The construction of this marble is brilliant, with flowers, fronds and coldworked water on top and bottom, and then the basket weave around the equator. Brilliant and historic, don't miss this one!
