Which begs the question, how do you tell real venetian beads from Chinese knock offs? I am traveling to Venice soon and have seen enough cautions about the Chinese knockoffs but am clueless on how to avoid those and locate real ones. Very excited about the Murano visit, especially as i am reading Panini’s “world in a bead”. Thanks due to whomever it was that recommended the book a ways back (I forgetwho it was).
