The marbles tradition is worldwide and pre-industrial — clay marbles are found in Roman-era archaeological sites. Every language has words for the different shots and games: India's kancha, Germany's klicker, Britain's ringer and knucks, Mexico's canicas. Traditional glass marbles were hand-cannon-made in Bohemia and Thuringia; today's craft revival makes hand-cast art marbles that are collector items in themselves.
