any (quick) tips on locating the beads in question on BCN. As I said I'm looking forward to seeing any information on the subject and particularly yours if and when you have time.

I asked this question in a previous post in the thread but I'd like to take this opportunity to ask it again and to address it to you in person.

Does anybody know anything about "bandiera beads", an early(?) manifestation of modern era Venetian millefiori? Available but difficult to find now in Ethiopia? They were very popular with buyers for the Japanese market and presumably nearly all ended up in Japan?
