4mm Dark blue transparent bugles antique Murano glass bugle beads vintage Italian Venetian SL

10 gram package. Approximately 4 mm each. These very old beads are dark blue and gorgeous in the light.

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.
