West German "Picasso" glass beads in the shape of a cube measuring approximately 5.5mm x6mm .

The color is as close to red jasper as you can find and the mottling is in a shade of brown. Because these beads were handmade, no two are alike in terms of the pattern of the mottling but we will do our best to match the 6 that you purchase.

I completely forgot I had purchased these beads and just found them in my studio along with a few other similar ones in different color combinations which I will be listing shortly.

Price is for 6 of these wonderful vintage West German glass beads which we 100% guarantee to be from the 1960's if not earlier. You certainly won't find beads like this anymore - especially at your local neighborhood bead shop!

I sold many of these beads through the Smithsonian Institution's museum shop and mail order catalog during the 1980's and they were also featured in trunk shows at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue during this same time period.
