Very rare 16 x 4mm White satin flat rectangular bugles antique Murano glass beads vintage Italian Venetian

15 gram package, which is about 58 beads. They measure approximately 16mm x4 mm each. Highly unusual beads that would dazzle in a lampshade or necklace. Use your imagination (Í'd love to know how you decide to use these 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.

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