Here are 3 lovely early 20th c. Venetian combed "feather" beads on the left, with 2 India-made versions from the late 20th - early 21st century on the right. For me, the frequent (but not always) matte finish and the white mandrel release powder in the perforations of the Indian beads tells the story. The Indian versions are also larger and less graceful.

Thank you again, Thomas, for showing this aspect of your collection.
