Hi Thomas, I'm curious about the greyish horizontal patterns on yours, consistent with unintentional "patterns" from when the glass was wound around a mandrel. I'm bending my brain right now trying to remember the "market name" for these, but I believe they were traded in New Guinea and into Indonesia. They have been often accepted as Chinese, but I have seen very, very similar beads on Venetian sample cards, too, so in imho, they could have been made at either...or both...places.....any conclusive evidence, anyone? Here is a similar one or two on Picards Conterie sample card # 32. I promise to participate more this weekend! Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
