I really do admire your new cloisonne beads. I'm sure I'd enjoy to view the other sides of the beads - to see all of the art. What have you learned about them beadstore.com. Maybe if I ask, did you learn if they are Japanese or Chinese, learn any estimate of age for each. Describing them as ojime I can expect they are antique Japanese of 100 years or older. I cannot recall having seen anything like the top bead, they both appear to be older cloisonne. The first bead my guess is Japanese since there are no Chinese cloisonne beads I recall seeing like it to compare. The second bead appears to have either French or maybe even Russian style motiffs. Thanks for sharing them, they remain a very rare treat to those forum members who are admirers. So don't be at all afraid to brag of either here. Maybe you had a chance to view some of my beads recently posted. I'd enjoy to hear your comments of them if so they are very welcome. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
