    Description

    DESCRIPTION:  This is for One Gorgeous Huge XL Antique Venetian Millefiori Trade Bead with a Green Chevron Murrine Pattern.  The 4 layer green Chevron murrine pattern has a white bullseye center, surrounded by brick red, white, green and white stripes, and finished with dark green glass outer layer.  The Venetian glass Artist has managed to achieve a truly 3 dimensional effect which is quite striking.
    The
    murrina were laid, heated & worked onto a drawn glass core- in this case an unusual cobalt blue color core.
    This is a very big, beautiful bead and would be a great addition to your Trade Bead Collection, or could make a striking centerpiece bead.  A marvel to behold.
    Dates from late 1800's to early 1900's.
    SIZE:  Bead is ~48mm at longest X 15mm wide.
    CONDITION:
    Bead
    is in very good condition.
    This is a circulated Antique Trade Bead, and will show some surface wear, as expected, but is in above average condition.
    No Cracks.  Tiny end chipping is normal in circulated Trade Beads.
    Overall very nice, with only small end chipping.  In exceptionally good condition for such a large heavy bead!
    Note the irregularities at the ends can be the visible murrine sections as they are pieced onto the drawn glass core.
    Please use Photos to help determine condition and appearance, and zoom in as needed.
