Description

  • Rare blue-violet antique Venetian trade bead with superb coordinating chevron murrine spiraling around it. This is the height of the Venetian glass bead-maker's art. I love this color which is even rarer than turquoise in beads of this type. This is the last one I'll be parting with. It does have a chip at one end, but it's still an amazing bead
  • Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade, early 1900s
