Description: | Probably CeramicBead. Rhomboid spacer bead from a four string bracelet or necklace. There are four transverse apertures of diameter 1.5mm, arranged in pairs either side of the central swelling. The surface is dull, rounded, and reminiscent of wave-rolled objects collected on the sea shore. The pale blue colour is attractive, and resembles of that of blue Wedgewood pottery. It is quite distinct from the glossy sky blue tint favoured for some Victorian glass beads, and from that of faience beads of various dates and provenance. The stringing holes are also narrower than would be expected for an early bead.Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1750-2000.Length: 25.3mm, Width: 10.4mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 1.35gms.
