  • Set of 3 very rare, lime green, antique Venetian lampwork/mosaic combo beads 
  • One long cylinder 35x10mm with simple red and white strip and 
  • Two small oval beads, each with 4 murrini in red and blue
  • Green is rare, but this lime, or avocado, color is even rarer
  • Great little collector set, or inspiration for your next design
  • Made in Venice, Italy between late 1700s or early 1800s  for the African trade
  • From my personal collection started in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire in the early 1970s
  • Only one set available. 
  • When I was trying to collect all the beads pictured in the Picards' books (see our Tools, Findings and Books Collection) I created dozens of 60-compartment trays  of one-of-a-kind black, yellow, and brick antique Venetian lampworked beads, but only managed to fill one partial tray with green ones.
