Original Message:   P. S. - Prosser Beads

The Prosser method of beadmaking also relies on a concoction that is essentially powdered glass mixed with powdered dry clay. The mixture is used to charge a bead mold, and the resulting beads are fired. These fit into the general category of beads made from crushed glass. Prosser beads were made in Czechoslovakia, France, possibly other European countries (but not Italy or Holland). Machines for making Prosser beads were sold to a firm in Morocco about fifteen to twenty years ago. So now Czech-style Prosser beads can come to us from out of Morocco as well. However, the majority of such beads would be European in origin. JDA. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
