Look what I saw today.... fake millefiori. What do we know about these?

Are the powder glass? If it is, looks like they have a new technique.

Lot of expertise in enameling porcelain, maybe this is what they're up to now?

I did various Alibaba searches, but no luck. However, I did find these neat-o ceramic rabbits and owls.

You know you want a bead curtain made of ceramic owls.
Or samurai rabbits.
You know you do, just admit it.

Anyone up for a group order?

It's the smaller-scale version of Ali Baba, and smaller quantities are available.
Couldn't find the same supplier, but I did find a ceramic rabbit bead!

Yes, it appears to be of Chinese origin judging by other beads on the necklace. A seller of pre-owned jewelry is offering it. I haven't seen the loose beads. Ebay USA 201934399068 if anyone cares. I hadn't seen these before.

Dimensions would be helpful!
Couldn't they be handpainted glazed pottery beads made in Kenya by a community project such as "Kazuri"?
