    Or end of day backyard bottle beads?
    Any thoughts please?. Pretty colour, huge holes through them, rough shapes but no sharp edges.
    Strung on a piece of string so that’s no help.
    Thanks for looking :)

    My guess would be fairly modern, handmade in India.

    I agree, not old, not trade.
    Maybe modern African?

    Am I seeing a different color glass inside? They look like some kind of modern lampwork.

    My guess is modern African. I’ve never seen the blue (really pretty) but it’s a classic bead in brown.

    Thanks everyone!.
    I’ll get some inspiration as to what I’m going to do with them. Maybe some chunky round beads between them to hide the huge holes.
