In a new generation of Gobstoppers, Scepanovic interprets historical marbling methods using modern paints and lacquers. First developed in Pompeii, the technique took off during the Renaissance and reached its height in the mid 19th century where it could be found on architectural elements in important palaces and churches across Europe.

No. 31 is rendered in a champagne breche marble using oil paint and lacquer over wood. Breche is derived from the Italian word "breccia," which means "broken." The word refers to broken pieces of marble mixed within a larger formation of marble. Scepanovic's lacquered pieces sometimes require up to 50 manipulations to perfect and are finished entirely by hand.
