Artisan Lampwork Glass Bead

A handmade lampwork focal bead in a blend of clear and opaque glass. The deep cobalt blue on the top half of the bead looks black until the light gets behind it. Pale multicolour swirls fade into clear at the base of the bead, with a textured twist on each side.

This bead is approximately 23 mm wide (10 mm is equal to approximately 3/8ths of an inch). It was made on a 2.4 mm mandrel which gives a hole of about 3 mm.

The bead is thoroughly cleaned and annealed in a kiln for durability. Bead stand not included.

Photographs taken under studio light and enlarged to show detail. Every effort has been made to accurately represent the glass colours but shades may vary on different computer monitors. You will receive the bead in the photographs.
