21x4mm Greasy dark yellow antique tubes bugles Murano glass seed beads vintage Italian

You will be receiving 25 of these lovely greasy dark yellow tube beads. They have an amazing depth of color. The average length of the beads is 21mm, but as you can see in the photo, there is a fair amount of variation in these very old beads.

In the early 20th century, these rare beads were painstakingly hand manufactured by master craftsmen in the fabled Societa Veneziana Conterie glass factories of Murano, Italy. The slight irregularities in size and shape are an expected and natural result of the production process, which is a lost art.
