Also, the squiggles on the older beads form a much more controlled frame for the eye.

The thing is, the old murrine seem to have been used for the beads made in the 1980s

I suspect the random starbursts and wild distribution of squiggles may be late 20th century.

Yes. But the even newer ones made last week have a different style of murrine.

The seller says: "Boshan ship." Have you been in touch with the seller to ask questions?

The seller in the link is a TaoBao intermediary, not the producer

Proper research is difficult -especially when available information is in Chinese.

I feel these beads have probably already been thoroughly researched in China.
