Coke bottle colored powderglass base bead decorated with detailed blue and white designs. 22x12mm very slightly curved beads on 25-inch strand
The slight curve is very popular in Ghana were short strands about the size of a bracelet were sold in the markets.
I found this color combo particularly attractive and paid a bit more for it. I can easily see these beads being used with blue stones like sodalite.
Only one strand available
The most recent development in Krobo powderglass bead-making involves creating the base of the bead by filling a mold with pulverized glass, but applying the surface design as type of glaze. A paste of very finely powdered glass mixed with ceramic pigments and a little water is painted onto the beads with a small stick. A final quick baking fuses the solution to the beads.
