As I am starting to photograph my stock to post as many items as possible on my new web page, I stumble once and again on so many -- mostly glass -- beads I cannot properly identify.
I am showing here a group of those most intriguing. I am sure they are not uncommon at all, it is just my ignorance!
Please help me to classify them.

The first one is 14 x 14,5 mm

Its size: 22 x 11 mm.
It looks like a Cornalina d'Aleppo with trailed decoration, doesn't it?

It is similar to the previous one in shape and decoration, but so different too!

With the aventurine trails I have to guess Venetian, would like a closer looks at the "eyes" - they look like they could be worn millefiori slices, perhaps. I love the thin layer of pink. I would love a full strand in mint condition!

Still disputed, by some at least...
Re: Re: Please ID glass beads! -- nishedha Post Reply Edit Forum Where am I?

but it is thought they are older Venetian, also were done in aqua w/ white swirls, and pink as well...the brown ones might be emulating agate...interesting, they hardly appeared in the African trade, but turn up with stuff from the middle east.

Right on the spot: it was sourced from the Middle East!

This bead is very unusual, it reminds me of a Morfia type but it appears that it could be a powder glass bead, very unusual and good looking bead

The splotch bead....
Re: Re: Please ID glass beads! -- nishedha Post Reply Edit Forum Where am I?

Is the perforation tapered at all? If so, possibly an ancient "splotch" bead?

"splotch" is a descriptive for the random crumb or fragment decor

I also thought it could be Islamic or something, but it is in such pristine condition that it seemed unlikely. A couple more pics of same bead attached.

1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are most likely all Venetian, early 20th century.
The wear on them is weird, and that makes it harder to see, but I think these are Venetian.

1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 are DEFINITELY Venetian. And yes, the ruby-colored glass bead is a cornelian d'Aleppo bead with trailing, but significantly worn.
