2 Antique Venetian Millefiori African Trade Beads Matched Star Cane Gorgeous!

Description

DESCRIPTION:  Pair of matched Antique Venetian Trade Beads from the African Trade.  These beads have glass cane which is constructed around a green glass moulded star shape, accented by a beautiful starburst of radiating colors: brick red/yellow/blue/light blue.
Murrine is the name for the colored glass patterns or images created in the glass cane. The finished glass cane is t
hen sliced and sliced cane torch heated onto a base of drawn glass.  Fascinating and beautiful beads.
SIZE:  ~34mm X14mm, ~33mm X 14mm
CONDITION:  Very Good Used Antique Condition.
This is a circulated Antique Trade Bead, and shows some surface wear, as expected, but is in above average condition.  One bead has a small flat chip on one end.  Both beads have noticeable edges where the cane slices were laid on the drawn base, and have dirt in the spaces (see photos)- this is normal.  I have not cleaned them.  No cracks, overall very nice.
Please use Photos to help determine condition and appearance, and zoom in as needed.
PLEASE contact me before paying if you are buying multiple items and I will quote for adjusted combined shipping price.  Thanks!
I have been buying Antique Trade Beads for almost 50 years, and had a Wholesale and Retail Bead Store, Folk Art, and Tribal Art Store in Greensboro, NC for some 25 years (Lost and Found Gallery), and am now semi-retired.  We are just beginning to sell on eBay.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the beads.
