Early 20th century Bohemian “Moon Glass” trade beads are treasured antiques known for their soft, opalescent glow and ethereal light-catching quality. Crafted in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic) and traded extensively throughout Nigeria, these glass beads were highly valued and often worn as symbols of status, wealth, and cultural significance. Typically appearing in luminous white and pale, milky hues, Moon Glass beads are admired for their dreamy shimmer, setting them apart from other African trade beads such as coral or clay. Today, they are sought after as rare historical heirlooms, celebrated for both their beauty and their connection to early global trade routes.
