Thanks to everyone for their comments! And to Snap, 'you ain't just whistling Dixie,' friend. It does get worse and worse, especially on Ebay. I recommend anyone who might be interested to read the thread on the Ebay discussion board titled, 'Deco? Chrysoprase.' Essentially, theis ends up being a defense of calling certain Czech glass 'Peking Glass.' There is even a link to what appears to be an Ebay seminar on Czech glass given by an 'expert,' who apparently is the source of 'Czech Peking Glass.'

All of my years of research and study of old glass beads have been for nothing if this explanation is let to stand. It may be that I'm just an old pedant and shouldn't care. But the question remains: does the correct name and attribution of a bead mean anything at all? Apparently not, when it comes to Ebay. Best wishes, Lyn
