5mm Greasy peacock blue bugle beads antique Murano glass beads vintage Italian Venetian

10 gram package. Approximately 4 mm each. These are truly lovely beads with an elegant shape in a dark, rich turquoise blue color.

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.
