And in Stefany Tomalin's latest book "Beads - a history and collector's guide" on page 6 you will find a picture of these beads with the text: "Ëighteenth-century Italian Maiolica -glazed pottery beads, bearing Latin mottos".
I liked the ones that were offered on ebay very much and I would have done a serious bid but the shipping costs for this item from the USA to Europe were (as usual) extremely high.
