My mystery beads; any ID help? | |||||

Second are glass beads, about 10 by 4 mm. They are wound glass, with some 'moon glow' to the glass. The holes are very small, about 1mm. Some of the beads have some copper inside the holes. It makes me thing they were made on a copper mandrel, which was then removed by using acid. For as far as I know, this is a technique that Rousselet (and other French lampworkers?) and the Venetians used. So, do these beads look familiar to anyone?
