I'm posting two pictures of what I assume is a late 19th-early 20th century Peking glass bead on a brass canister made for the tourist trade and a necklace made up of mottled beads w/ scattered murrine.

I think the former is another example of Peking glass beads with swirled patterns (no murrine though) discussed about a week ago; see Mel's necklace: http://beadcollector.net/cgibin/anyboard.cgifvp=/openforum/&cmd=get&cG=137363333343&zu=313734323135&v=2&gV=0&p=.

The latter is a necklace I posted in the discussion of a week or so ago, but received no feedback on; it sold on eBay (I believe) some months ago and I'm just curious if others more knowledgeable than I think the beads are Chinese; re. lantern necklace discussion: http://beadcollector.net/cgibin/anyboard.cgifvp=/openforum/&cmd=get&cG=137343838313&zu=313734323135&v=2&gV=0&p=

Thank you!
