Description
A type of decorative paper prepared by mixing or dropping oil paints onto the surface of water, then swirling, and dipping the paper into the surface to produce a marble-like pattern. Marble papers were made in China over 2000 years ago. In the 12th century, Shinto priets in Japan made marbled papers as a divination tool. Two-tone marbling, or Turkish marbling was devloped in Turkey and Persia in the 15th century. By the 17th century, paper marbling became popular in Europe primarily for use as book end papers.
