Antique Venetian Glass LG Millefiori African Trade Bead Blue Star,Yellow & Brick

Description

DESCRIPTION:  This is for ONE SINGLE LARGE BEAD- An Antique Venetian Glass Trade Bead from the African Trade.  I have picked out only the CHOICEST BEADS and in the BEST CONDITION, and Without any end chips (I removed a few that had end chips you may see in Pics).  The Cane is a complex blue and white Star or Flower Design, surrounded by stripes of Brick Red and mustard Yellow.  These are a beautiful Fancy Cane Construction- and are Gorgeous.  Can be used for Jewelry Making and also would be the highlight of any Venetian Millefiori or Trade Bead Collection.  The Detail is Stunning!
SIZE:  FOR ONE BEAD ONLY: Size Range from smallest 25.63mm X 11mm to largest 28.24mm X 28.24mm X11.5mm.  Average size 27.5mm X11.5mm.  When lined up they look pretty even in size.  I will pick for you unless you have a preference that I can distinguish.
CONDITION:  These are Antique Circulated Trade Beads, about 100 years Old, and have been Traded, been Worn, and have Traveled widely.  These beads will have surface wear and tear, which is normal and expected.  There may be some tiny chips, which too is normal and expected.  HOWEVER, these have been hand selected for their Very Nice Condition, and they have no large end chips and No Cracks or obvious damage.  I would call these "choice" as far as circulated Antique Venetian millefiori glass beads.
Please use photos as part of the description and to help determine condition, you can zoom in.  Remember that I eliminated the beads with end chips that may show in some photos.
