I precise, it's big: it measures 33mm in length and 27mm in diameter in the widest part.
Has anyone the book where I did see a picture? I think it's a Japanese or American book, it's small.
Thanks,
Kika

found this picture online some years ago. Can't find the URL anymore, but I stored the picture under the title of the digital booklet where it was taken from "Glass-Beads-in-the-World"

Thank you very much Hans. I had a book where there was a similar picture and impossible to find it. I would really like to know more about this bead.
You comfort me in the certainty that it's Japanese, but exactly what period? Where was it manufactured?
That is a problem!!

The only thing I know about them is the beads were made in the Edo period and they were made in Nagasaki, Osaka, Kyoto and Edo. Osaka produced the most and there was also an older tradition of bead making there. Unfortunately I have never seen Edo or Osaka beads in real live or find more info in a language I do understand.

Hans, How did you find they "were made in Nagasaki, Osaka, Kyoto and Edo?"

These are Edo Era Japanese beads made in sets of two -one larger than the other- for usage as netsuke. One above the other, gourd like…separated with a ring and swivel bail… for suspension from Japanese gentlemen's obi…as a counterweight for a tobacco pouch or inro.

I know nothing about these three beads. I found them in a bag of buttons purchased at a thrift store. The center of each whorl is a slice of cane with a design. One cane slice on each bead appears to be a signature (initials) and a date, HB 2001. These beads are probably modern lampwork, but now I see the original concept that inspired the maker. Thank you.

The Edo beads were made by the insertion of a tool that was then twisted or rotated to cause the glass around it to spiral—whereupon the tool was removed (leaving an indentation). Sometimes a similar effect was created using a pincer, so that two parallel indentations were made—and the desired effect of either undulating lines or swirls depended upon how much rotation was applied to the pincers. The more-recent beads were made similarly. However, the glasswoker has cleverly inserted a pictorial mosaic-glass cane (as for millefiori work). In this instance, the process is pursued quickly (before this cane becomes too hot to be functional). The cane is inserted, twisted, and broken-off. Since the cane is broken, we can see it's cross-section—providing a small decorative unit. So the effect is similar, with the added bonus of providing a central decoration where the previous method left a depression. JDA.
