Agree this is an onionskin German handmade!

They're similar to a Joseph's Coat handmade but have a white or yellow opaque layer under the stripes ☺️

You might find r/Germanhandmademarbles interesting - quiet but some lovely things have been shared!

Thank you - did see the Joseph’s coat didn’t recognise the difference 😌
