Description
- Antique Venetian Millefiori trade bead 30x10mm
- Original bundled cane method that was also used by Egyptians, Etruscans and Romans. Venetians started with this method and moved on to cased canes later.
- This pattern stands out for its very rare use of turquoise glass. This one was almost a "keeper" so act fast if you want it, I might change my mind!
- Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade 1700s through early 1800s
- Only one available and it does have a significant chip at one end, but its rarity outweighs that flaw.
