| Some of the beads shown here would also be at home on the Glass-Gablonz page, but there I have listed the composed ornaments, figures and various other models. Here are the strings and loose examples. |
| Fancy and Faceted Beads |
| Below a combination of beads, different colors and shapes: round, colored, golden or gilt, cross beads, cubes, faceted, flowers, ribbed even a snail. In the book "Glasperlen Christbaumschmuck/Glass Bead Christmas Tree Ornaments" by Waltraud Neuwirth, some of them are described as being pre-1914 (page 99 and 164), while on page 64 and 65 attributed to the 1920s of the W. Klaar company, Gablonz., and page 68. |

Round and Oval Beads
Strings of round and oval beads were made in all sizes, some mold blown and others free blown, which are thought to be older. These old ones were sometimes wrapped with crinkly wire, which made them less vulnerable. |
