Can't find more of these vintage beads, darn it!

Vintage Czech glass, I believe this shape is called lantern beads, or long bicone, about 5x8mm, matte finish. I've looked everywhere for more, but can't find them in this size, or even anything in this color. Does anyone have sources for vintage beads that might carry these? I've done about a dozen Google searches, including an image search, no luck.

Just one of those days....! :-D

Hi Luann!

I found them on eBay, I didn't see the green color you're looking for but the seller
may be able to get them. I'll go back later today and see if I can find the listing again.

So, on Etsy one seller is calling them 11x7mm Bicone Lantern,
they only have 4 colors.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1147572048/11x7mm-bicone-lantern-light-rose-czech?click_key=65c688fe2fe928e3415a436f811f27f8f4c56381%3A1147572048&click_sum=2cdb0f3f&ga_search_query=Bicone%2BLantern&ref=shop_items_search_1&sts=1

And on eBay this seller is calling them a more generic name,
TRADE CZECH AMBER FIRE POLISHED BOHEMIAN GLASS BEADS so it's harder
to do a search their inventory for other colors.
eBay item number:302212669176

https://www.ebay.com/itm/302212669176?hash=item465d475ef8:g:OOYAAOSwNRdX-vEh

Here it is in cobalt blue. TRADE CZECH COBALT BLUE BOHEMIAN BICONE GLASS BEADS - eBay item number:303514451036

You might want to ask them all if they can get the color you want.

Good luck!
Mary

I've been in a medical urgency all month and just saw you detailed response! As soon as I'm up and around again, I'll look up those vendors.

Hi Luann!

I'm sorry I didn't see your response, you're welcome! :-)

Here's one more link for you if I didn't give you this one yet.
There's an olive green bead in the drop down menu.
It's not squared off like your's is, but otherwise it's very similar.

I LOVE their selections, it's just really hard to search their site. Sometimes I ask them about a specific item I'm looking for, so I may reach out to them again. 🤗❤️

Aquamarine instead of olive. I didn't look to see if they had other colors. Ebay USA item number 364001860434... hopefully. -Robin Towne

I'll check with the buyer to see if they have other colors.

I also found when I searched Picard Beads that these could be called "bipyramid" beads. So I'll start looking for those, too.
