Glass or glazed porcelain?

The first bead mystifies me as to how it was decorated. Any clues?

It would seem that this bead is realized with the same technique as the false chevron which is on the site " africa infinite ". Is it really a technique of Bohemia? Where can one find other examples of similar beads?

The africa infinite bead looks to me like it may be a prosser bead, that is decorated afterwards. The bottom end is quite rough, and that is typical of a specific type of prosser beads. There are quite a few ways that the Bapterosses beadmakers tried to copy chevrons. This could be one of them. It could also be a Czech attempt, though I have not seen any proof that they copied chevrons like this.

The bead you show to me looks quite different from this faux chevron. It looks like actual porcelain/ceramic, and not the prosser glass/ceramic material. Difficult to tell from a picture, but I do not think they are related.

At first glance the long bead reminded me of a roll-pad mosaic bead but the end shot seems it's made of porcelin. How long is it? The smaller bead seems to be a powdered glass bead with preformed eyes. o.o

this bead is out of glass, it measures 51mmx9mmx9mm. It looks like, by its technique, the false chevron in "Africa infinite"
