Original Message: A nearly identical murrine is on the cover of the Picards book Vol. 6 |

And after all that, there the murrine is, lower right corner, bead #31. Apparently appears in different form somewhere in the Sick Collection, according to the text. My eyes are fried, I cannot look through 197 cards anymore. The flower in the center of the Picard example looks orange to me, and I can't tell if it has 7 or 8 petals, but the general design sequence seems to match the murrine on your beads. Nonetheless, I still think you're right in suspecting they're of Chinese manufacture. They just look too tidy and neat [which may actually be a feature!] All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
