Like glass marbles glinting on a rainy day, Vinta Marbles [Holen 1946] pairs a sombre blue-grey base with dashes of vibrant metallic blue shimmer.

A game for any weather

Holen is the Filipino game of marbles, introduced during the American period and loved by children because it could be played rain or shine. The year 1946 marks the end of American rule in the Philippines. The ink belongs to the Hello Rain Collection, which celebrates the country’s rainy season.
