15mm Robin's Egg Blue SL silver lined bugles antique Murano glass beads vintage Italian needle bugles

You will receive 10 grams of these beautiful aqua blue vintage bugle beads, size 20 mm. The square holes give them extra sparkle. These are more delicate than bugle beads being produced today.

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.

Nothing shown in the photos other than the beads is included in your purchase.
