Murano Glass Bead, Aqua/Aqua Chevron Ground Penny, Blown 30mm

This authentic Murano Glass bead in aqua is a work of art, mouthblown in Murano. Each of the small canes is carefully fused together and then rolled over the blowpipe. After they have cooled they are then worked by hand to grind and reveal the various colors underneath the millefiori (mosaico) canes. An old technique now used in a different medium. They measure about 30mm so big enough for a great focal bead. The hole is a nominal 1-2mm varying as they are mouthblown.
