Original Message:   Old "jasper" glass

I wonder where the glass beads used in your brush handle beads might also have been used - finials for bird cages? [don't laugh, I'm serious] Has it been seen in other small decorative items such as snuff bottles or water dishes? Been given lapidary treatment as well as lampworked? In other words, why was it worth it to develop the materials and skill to manufacture? 19th century or Japanese occupation? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
