Original Message:   The aquarium bead…identical vs. inspired by~

Often new beads were inspired by old beads. For example, Blair's "History of Glass in Japan" frontispiece is a 19th c. glass ojime depicting an "aquarium bead." The age old concern is whether it is acceptable for a manufacturer to solicit and encourage unwitting dealers. A few bead sellers feel forced to misrepresent in order to survive.
