Here we have an assortment of Chinese vintage porcelain beads called the ‘Garden Party’ collection – boasting a multitude of shapes, sizes, and colours.
The collection contains almost 80 beads ranging between 6mm-26mm; all come with 1-3mm centre drill holes and a variety of shapes and sizes including – diamonds, slabs, cubes, hearts, drops, gourds, twists, cylinders, slabs, round, tabular, oval, bicones, and tubes.
If you’re lucky, you may even find a couple of dogs, a cat, a few large-holed dice, and possibly a penguin.
This bag of beads, which weighs 84 grams would probably appeal to the younger members of the family – who would have lots of fun threading the beads with leather, craftline or elastic.
Only limited by your imagination, wonderful jewellery items such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings can be created.
Colours include ivory, black, green, brown, yellow, red, white, blue, aqua, navy, Siam, beige, topaz, gold, lime, olive, pink, purple, lilac, and clear. All beads are glazed.
Please also be aware, that the beads have been enlarged to illustrate detail.
