Description
These antique Bohemian glass sew on beads showcase shades of blue swirled with white. This color style is often called “End of Day” glass, because the glass makers would create it by mixing together whatever glass colors were left over at the end of the day.
These beads have smooth domed tops and flat backs, with a single hole. They measure about 5mm each.
