Black/White Spiral Oval Blown Murano Glass Bead

Venetian blown glass bead shapes like a oval (hollow inside). Blown in the furnaces of Murano. Distinctive color stripes of translucent glass blown and twisted at the same time to give the spiral bicolor. Size is about 30mm or little less than 1 1/4 " long and 15-17mm diameter with a 2-3mm hooe, though it varies are they are individually blown by artisans in Murano. No two are ever exactly alike. This one features black and white filigrana in a spiral.
