1 Handmade Porcelain Beads Yellow 16mm x 19mm (00309-003)

1 Handmade Porcelain Beads Small Yellow Striped Ceramic Beads 16mm x 19mm. White and yellow stripe ceramic beads are made with self glazing bisque or biscuit porcelain, also known commercially as parian. They have a matte coloured slip decoration.

Parian is named for its resemblance to the immaculate white marble from the Greek Island of Paros.

The production of these handmade focal beads takes several days as they need to be fired, hand painted with glaze spots and fired again. The second firing is at 1240 degrees which makes these beads very hard and robust. Each hand painted bead is created individually so they will vary slightly in appearance and size.

These opaque beads are produced by Monika Skrzypkowska of Maap Studio.
