Millifiore Beads
Millifiore translates as "little flowers" which describes the
patterns of fused glass that is pressed into the body of these beads. They were made in Venice starting around 1830 and mostly
traded to African tribes.

This lot contains three very, very old millifiores circa early 1700s. These are some of the oldest millifiores I've
ever owned. I'd be willing to split this lot up if you'd like.
