I would like to see better/more-clear phots(s) of the first beads shown. I could almost imagine that these could be Chinese, from Boshan. But seeing is believing, perhaps. Statistically, these beads are more-likely to be Venetian, or at least European.

I have to apologize to Stef for doubting her description. Sammi's second post said "I'll try again." And this led me to think the second photo presented the same beads as the first (and that the first didn't materialize—when actually he meant the second photo had to be repeated).

In any event, I agree that the beads Stefany showed subsequently are in the same familty of bicolored combed beads, as the first beads with avventurina decoration.

I think that if I saw the blue millefiori beads I could determine exactly what the two murrine patterns are. None of the Picard images are really "the same." They are only in the same family of patterns. These being mutiple dots and elaborated dots.

JDA.
