My blind guess would be Murano, but I'm no glassie.
Germany, Bohemia (aka Czechia now, more or less), Austria... somewhere in there.
The kind with acetone does; it's a carcinogen but works wonders as paint remover. These were thermal-shocked, so a fingernail was good enough for...
I honestly don't think it's all that old. The clay is the wrong color. But I'm no pottie.
I sat there tonight and sorted the last jar and peeled those pearls. They're now nice white milk glass insead of thermal-shocked old beads.

Ohh my. More things to look for. Here that might get dumped in the Costume piles!
I love how they keyword spammed the estatesales ad. "Art Deco 19th Century Louis XVI Style" - My guess would be 1920s/30s pretty-pretty style,...
