yes Jamey we are not exactly on the same line. I was talking about Bapterosses and their Czech counterpart. In both their paste formula (70% clay,15% feldspath, 9% Gypsum, 6% lime carbonate) for Briare, similar but maybe not exactly the same for Jablonex
This would not permit translucent colors and none of their sample cards show that. All items, beads and others look like the same, like ceramic
I really thought Prosser was a process of fabrication not a specific bead.
Because Bapterosses bought the Prosser patent and ameliorate it for its own designs, using the same technique and the same material, I believed that their products would be classified as such
I am not aware of translucent glass Prosser beads. who made them?
Here are pictures of sample cards from Briare from our museum
I am not sure if they show well on the screen, You can see the round beads have a seam in the middle,they and all the others I can assure you have the same ceramic look
Have a good thanksgiving
