2mm Greasy yellow 2-cut huge hank tubes bugles antique Murano glass beads vintage Italian 100+ grams

This is a large hank of greasy yellow 2-cut beads approximately 2 mm each. It's so much fun to own these precious beads on their original strings! Each huge hank weighs over 100 grams.

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.
