but life is too short!

Really, we are here to help educate rather than bash sellers who are offering nice product. While you are right on the points you bring up...

1) I see just one bead with millefiori inserts - the rest are trail decorated lampwork.

2) The beads appear to be contemporary with similar Venetian beads that actually were traded to Africa - it is more likely that these specific beads remained in Europe.

3) And yes, I see trail decoration, rather than "canes".

When on line sales are the venue, we also MUST use our eyes and examine the images as a vital part of the description! Given the images of good authentic beads, I can't point an accusing finger and yell loudly at this seller..."Wrong!". I can say that the seller in this case does not have the best command of descriptive adjectives to assign accurate text to the offering. And I would offer constructive comments - I hope to be taken as such...
