Vintage German glass beads in a soft medium purple and white striped effect and in a shape so characteristic of the 1950s - a ridged bi cone!
*This wonderful shade of purple has a slight pink undertone - its not what I could call a blue purple but more of a burgundy purple.*

Each bead measures approximately 10mm x 10.5mm and the price is for 4 beads which we 100% guarantee to be vintage from at least the 1950s but probably much earlier.
These beads are beautiful when mixed with the white chalcedony beads that are in my shop under round gemstone beads or the gem quality amethyst beads I have in my shop.

I sold many such unique and one of a kind glass beads through the Smithsonian Institutions museum shop and mail order catalog during the 1980s and they were also featured in trunk shows at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue during this same time period.
