As a collector can surmise, marble production did not go from handmade to machine-made overnight. Machines had to be perfected, techniques had to be perfected, "recipes" for glass mixtures had to be perfected. A new term has entered the vocabulary of the marble collector - the transition marble - indicating marbles made while efforts were being made to mechanize the entire process.
