BIG beads (for me) --spherical, On different base colours, done on different days, worked longer or shorter.
It wasn't really a 'study' at the time, but when they're all together, I like seeing how easy or hard it is to get the glass nicknamed "raku" (reichenbach Iris Orange) to do it's thing.

on the 2nd from the left, you can see where the heat had been concentrated most--around the middle. Iris Orange goes deepest purple after being the hottest.

The one right in the middle has been spot heated. I like how the heat makes colour halo's.

For glass'ers: If you heat the raku until it 'turns clear' (white hot)--and then blow on it, or marver it, or even just let it air cool, you'll think it's gone 'black', or burned. This is the first 'phase' of raku. After the glow is gone, each time you bring it up to an orange glow, it should change to another colour. Once it goes back to it's original brown, all you need to do is start over again. You can see the different colours, starting with the deep red, deep purple, blue, green, teal....

Very cool with out the description they do look like they could be ceramic. I have never seen raku glass work before that I am aware of.

"Raku" is just a nickname of the type of glass used for the effect.
The effect is probably not even similar in the way it's achieved except it involves heating, and cooling. It's all done in the flame, not in the kiln.
