An internet search will yield many examples called Peking glass. A few of the snuff bottles are likely to be genuine Peking glass. Peking glass beads, such as 18th century and early 19th century Court beads, are very hard to find and very costly. Glass was also made in China of much inferior workmanship, such as the beads that can be found on sewing baskets. At least some of the strands of beads called 'Peking glass' may have been made in China, but should not be called 'Peking glass'. I cannot personally provide an image of genuine Peking glass beads. Here is a link to beads being sold as Czech 'Peking glass'. Snap All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
