- Vintage Czech Prosser molded glass, black round beads 5mm diameter
- The essential black, in perfect condition on 22-inch strands
- Due to their age these beads have a semi-matte patina that works well with other African beads. My biggest problem when I started making jewelry with African trade beads in the early 70s was that I hadn't bought enough small African beads to go with the bigger, fancier beads, and new spacer beads were much too bright. Later I made sure to buy plenty of small ones.
- This molded bead-making technique was invented by the Prosser bothers in 1830's in Bohemia (now Czech Republic) and named after them.
- Great quantities of Prosser beads were made for the African trade
