I believe the large beads, which they are, beads, were produced as lamp finial globes and for ceiling fan pulls as well. Each used in the modern era of electricity - so an estimate of 1920's and newer for large beads has always been my assumption. Their use as jewelry certainly implied by having a hole on each end as do the ojime and all beads of lesser diameter.
Here is a similar that sold awhile back that are in the style of at least one bead in the group. Your new group, beadiste, appears as a mix of antique and of vintage. Thanks so much for showing them. :)
