Does anyone know when and where these green heart beads were made? They are crude and about 1 cm in diameter on average. The outer layer is very thin. The strand includes two wound yellow-cored examples next to the blue beads.

Hi Karlis,
I have some small ones found in Middelburg and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
In Middelburg they were found near the remnants of a furnace at the Blindenhoek and in Amsterdam on the site of the glass house the Two Roses

Superficially they look similar but the early ones from Holland are smaller in diameter and the red layer is thicker while the green is thinner. I have examples from both A'dam and Middelburg.

The ones I illustrate are much more recent. Too crude for Venice or France. But where then???

Hi Karlis,
From which sites did your green heart's come from?
By me two Middelburg sites are known, the Blauwendijk en Blindenhoek.
And you remember from which Amsterdam glashouse? thx
