Antique Chinese glass beads from Yunnan. Most likely Qing Dynasty but possibly Ming as large glass beads in this shape were documented from that period but the examples I have seen have been opaque. Average bead length is 1.5cm/.6in. They are very heavy and have a nice feel to them. Some original pitting and few cracks here and there but overall much finer than the similar beads in the previous listing. Very rare aubergine color most likely emulating amethyst.
