Original Message:   Re: Yellow Melons - Chinese, Czech, Venetian, or ?

I think it is one of those beads that has been made for a long time and in different locations and can be any of those. Here are some that I had They were purchases as a lot with other Venetian beads some of which were on original hanks. As these were uncirculated and with a collection of other uncirculated Venetian beads my assumption was that they are also Venetian. I always believed that the Chinese ones were the oldest and tended to have a more orange tint and the brighter more yellow ones Czech or Venetian but I have no concrete information to back that up just an opinion.
