Original Message:   Re: Early Venetian Millefiori Beads

Hi Rosanna, I have documented rather more than "3 or 4" early Venetian millefiori beads, over the past twenty-something years. Four of the beads I have photographed are in the new edition of The History of Beads (2009). I know of five beads from Peru—including the first one found in the early 1980s—recovered by a Southern Californian archaeologist I was assisting at that time. the most surprising thing about Walter's bead is the red star cane. That's new to me. The exterior glass is not "milky," but rather is quite clear. However, the surface is battered—rendering it somewhat clouded. If the surface is oiled, the interior will be much more visible. Jamey Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
