Early Vaseline Glass Melon Beads
Price is per bead.
Bohemian Uranium Cut Glass Beads, c. 19th century. These are a particularly rare and early shape of true Vaseline glass from the African trade.
These beads are those in the best condition I cherry-picked out of a group; they still show signs of wear and use, including small fleabite chips as expected from age, but none of these will have large breaks or cracks.
Approximately 16-18mm in diameter.
