Aus einer FAQ über Glasperlen

Q: What is that little bur I find near to the hole on some beads?
A: It is created while "lampworking" the bead, which is what you call wrapping molten glass around a copper wire, the traditional way or creating hand-made glass beads.

Unebenheit
Explanation:
Hallo Harry, das ist einfach eine kleine rauhe Stelle oder Unebenheit.
'bur' wird oft auch 'burr' geschrieben - das macht die Suche einfacher.

burr ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bûr)
n. A rough edge or area remaining on material, such as metal, after it has been cast, cut, or drilled.
**Variant of bur**.

Danke Johanna, das Fachwort wäre "Grat". Aber da man in den FAQ eher einen umgangssprachlichen Ausdruck erwartet, passt "Unebenheit" hier besser.
