What an extraordinarily beautiful bead ! Antique Czech glass from the 1930's, with a delicate and unusual molded design on both sides. The oval shape is puffed in the center and recedes to a very,very thin edge. The beautiful Art Nouveau design has a lovely scalloped fan motif on either end, with an opposing linear pattern in the middle. Hole through lengthwise. Sizes may vary slightly; average is 23mm x 16mm x 8mm at thickest central part. Choose from Transparent Clear or Semi-opaque Carnelian In remarkably good condition, though the very thin edges may not be consistent. Some had chips and have been smoothed down. Absolutely does not detract from the exceptional beauty. Very limited.
