Style no.:

G1728

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

11mm (from base to tip) x 13mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) maple-leaf-shaped beads with embossed veins.  The hole runs through the 11mm direction – i.e, under the center vein.

Colors/description:

Opaque yellow with a heavy brown mottled "picasso" coating, and with red in the veins.  Many, if not most, of the beads have a light-blue coating or "wash" on them.  I call it a wash because the color is very faint.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

As I state above, the inner bead is yellow, but the picasso coating is so heavy that the beads look brown (thus, I called them "brown picasso" instead of "yellow picasso", which is the term I would have used if a lot of the yellow could be seen).
