Hi all, thanks for the posting Beadiste. I am thinking "charms" - see attached pics of jade and coral beads. All three were sold separately, but from the same seller at the same time - the caps and bails match. I could not pass up the painted bead - 10mm. The crazing does remind me of Satsuma. I've tried to decipher the characters with no luck - any help is appreciated. Long-time beadcollector lurker, and part-time farmer and jewelry maker - how's that for a combo? :)
