The Czech Lamp Work Glass Beads we use in these teapots are some of the most beautiful, versatile, durable, and colorful beads in the world. Lamp Work Beads have been hand crafted for generations by highly skilled artisans in Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic. For those looking for a bit of variety in bead shapes we offer a few teardrop shaped Teapots in addition to the traditional round styles in this category. This is a very good category to ask us to create coordinating sets of pendants, earrings, pins, and/or bracelets.
