Dear Jamey, I am not directly interested in transactions on ebay but I continue to think that the representation as "ancient" is the rignt one for beads produced until the end of the Islamic period (minimum 500 years old). A folded bead from the 12th century (8/900 years old)is obviously and ancient bead and has nothing to do with a Venetian Millefiori or fancy from the the late 19th century. I propose to respect the new timeline as far as transactions on ebay are concerned but to continue to accept a representation as "ancient" for beads produced until the end of the Islamic period and "antique" for beads from the beginning of the Venetian production.
