Vintage Chinese order Lamp Work Collection

These are vintage and curious. Made in, and sent from, a village in China known for its artisans and I'm so sorry I didn't take a note from the packaging. The Chinese have been making glass beads for centuries. They are making contemporary beads now that are very inexpensive and beautifully made which is difficult for many of order the new bead makers to deal with, but these are definitely really quite old..Look at the details, The beads are a sort of silky matte and the designs are charming. Whoever made these beads has been influenced not only by Murano but perhaps by each other in doing little cow heads, snowmen and so on, worth a close look!
