Yet another variation on the Yellow/Lime and Clear theme (See JSD-306, JSD-318 and JSD-367)
These are short, fat cylinders 12x12mm slight variations
Two rows of murrini are separated by a yellow band
These are part of a very small group of millefiori trade beads that use clear and translucent glass, allowing you to see into the murrini in 3 dimensions.
The tiny red star in the center of each slice increases my respect even more for the makers of these amazing little works of art.
Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade early 1900s
From the Collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator
