1 Handmade Porcelain Beads Purple 29mm x 27mm (00320-003)
1 Handmade Porcelain Beads Purple Crystalline Nugget Ceramic Bead 29mm x 27mm. A hand shaped and hand painted bead with irregular crystalline facets in the white porcelain pooled with a purple glaze and then wiped to create veining. These focal beads are made from self-glazing bisque or biscuit porcelain, which is also known commercially as parian.
Parian is named for its resemblance to the immaculate white marble from the Greek Island of Paros.
The production of these ceramic beads takes several days as they need to be fired, hand painted with glaze and fired again. The second firing is at 1240 degrees which makes these beads very hard and robust. Each parian bead is created individually so they will vary in appearance and size.
These opaque beads are produced by Monika Skrzypkowska of Maap Studio.
