Original Message:   Re: Old Chinese Porcelain Beads

I collected some antique and modern Chinese porcelain beads, in San Francisco, in the late 1970s and since then. However, a few years ago I acquired a substantial collection of them—that I immediately micro-photograped, taking two to four photos of each bead, around its circumference. I also discussed these beads with Valerie Hector, who is likewise interested in them, and who bought part of the collection. I was hoping to create a pictorial for publication, but could not find anyone interested in them, without some sort of documentation that would also be informing. And, essentially, I only know they are Chinese—and I think I can determine which are older and which are recent. (I've bought some at eBay that I suppose are fairly new—but well within keeping for the type of beads they are.) I would be delighted to show a group of these beads, if anyone is interested. I find them to be quite charming. Jamey Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
