I have been looking on eBay for some months (without success), for spherical glass or ceramic white beads with Asian characters, 10mm or smaller.

There are several recurring entries for 12mm or larger beads, but not the small sizes.

I don't live in the US, so need to purchase through the 'net.

I'm looking for the beads to spangle lace bobbins made from chopsticks!

Thanks -

 Welcome to the forums, Cebelia.

I don't have what you desire at Rings & Things but I have some suggestions. Search for porcelain beads, white with blue designs. I think I've seen 10mm and maybe 8mm beads with the double happiness symbol on them.

Take a look at PandaHall.com or this link.
