Here are some millefiori beads that were offered to me by a third little antique dealer in Jablonec. I asked about old beads, and these are what he came out with. I know the Czechs made (and make) beads with millefiori cane on them. However, they are usually of quite a different design than the Venetian millefiori beads. For as far as I know, they did not copy complete Venetian beads. So I believe these to be Venetian beads from the early 20th century that found their way to a Czech shop as part of a glass deal or through some other way?
Any thoughts on these?
