Murano Glass Lampwork Round 18mm Flowers Lilac

Authentic Murano Glass Beads. Nicola's own creation of lampwork flowers in a large round bead. Each bead begins with a base of Moretti glass in a round shape. He carefully dots the bead with a contrasting color dot and melts into the bead. Then with the placement of 4 small dots and a quick twist of the wrist, he creates the small petals of the flower and ever so carefully he flattens the round bead into a disc shape a little longer than wide. The size is approximately 18mm through the hole and about 24mm ini diameter. This bead requires a great deal of time to make as each of the flowers is made one by one. The base is a pale lilac, amethyst Murano Glass with white flowers.
