German glass marble beads

Not sure if these have been discussed.  (Steph?)

I've collected them for years and recently came across a couple rare examples.

Here's an interesting article:  https://www.fohbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/MarbleBeads_BE_SeptOct2010.pdf

Very nice examples and a super interesting topic. I bumped a post in the archives that you may want to check out.

Thanks Ric.  Here's a happy link from that archive:

Interesting to see those types.  Most of the ones I've seen pics of were more "traditional" German handmades.

I agree, the green one is really cool - looks sort of like a Grenier to me.

The article is a good read.  Both processes described (hot punch, hollow cane) is more than you'd expect from the average "maker/hut" aiming for quantity.  Thanks for the link, very interesting
