Looks like it might be a blue Bennington:

Thanks for the id that looks like the one. Any clue what year?

Probably late 1800's or early 1900's. They're called "Benningtons" because some people associated them with the pottery industry in Bennington, Vermont; however, most of them were actually imported from Germany. Most were brown or blue, but there were also other colors, as well as multicolored "fancies."

They are Glazed Clay Marbles, Like PBK said late 1800's-1910
Marbles are always cool to find

The dot or dots on it is what is referred to as "eyes". This is caused from the marbles touching each other during the firing process.
