They look like little tea pots!! very nice beads.
I call them tureen beads. I`d love to know how that shape came about and if it has any significance.
Turkoman pieces often feature teapots which are symbolic of hospitality, Maybe this is similar?
To be honest,I dont know what these symbols means.Perhaps Sarah is right,they are symbolic of hospitality.i will try to find out the rationale behind these beads.Thank you Sarah,Frankie and Marie for your kind Words.

Older uzbek pieces make extensive use of the teapot theme.
