The listing, Antique circa 1898 Shiny Emerald Green Venetian Tube Bead 26mm (1 inch) long has ended.

They are just stunning. The first image that came to mind was that shiny Wizard of Oz technicolor green.

Vintage 26mm (1 inch) long thin emerald colored shiny Venetian tube beads. They are from the late 1890s. Most of the early Venetian beads are very small. (Here's the incredible story. In 1898, the Societa Veneziana Conterie Consortium was formed. It was a group of 16 bead makers who put their beads in one place so they could be sold by one sales force. Some of the stock was old when it came there in 1898 (these are those)! In recent times, the consortium was dissolved and the remaining 400,000 plus pounds of beads were sold to an American Indian Trading post. I was able to get ahold of a quantity of the oldest types. All were made between the 1800s and 1914. They are an incredible bargain.

Winner gets 10
