[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4561579, member: 51"]1990s could be about right. Owner said she got them a few decades ago. The woman holding the yard sale went on and on about how this artist "Gale Whit" made the beads (the owner told me she paid $250) and had a whole story about how they worked together with some real-estate deal. I should have been paying better attention, but I was scanning the sale and only half listening. I got the three pieces for $40 total, which actually turned into $30 since we combined it with another item I bought. As I look at some other artisan lampwork beads it seems possible they were artisan. Here's an auction from Ebay: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/265509039842?hash=item3dd1926ee2%3Ag%3AXbsAAOSwmUtgqhmG&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoEgc35BShDfIdyuUn0V7OV7V%2B1olCqWu9JlYBdYmCOOke5p4GcmVMY4D1xdlMUqBJ4ZutSBhDFrxprhasFqH4RzikjSc%2Bp0Skv9RABLGP9IXhJ8wva%2Fx1ohI1T2L7E4%2BbGMAS1uqN45Y3Yq%2BinQHeeVG%2FE0DvlCUhr1gN%2FG52a9svhWfZSN%2FhwRu0DRgZ4hwZhrjtfImWHbIctSxw6bNVsc%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8iCoontYA&nma=true&si=0hogKSZgHX5pZKCV2A3EwHAcjkM%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557[/URL] For example these by Nirit Dekel which sold for $320. [ATTACH=full]404828[/ATTACH] Some similarity. I know not the same artist, but I do think there is a chance they were artisan made. [ATTACH=full]404829[/ATTACH] Not reselling them at the moment. But would love to find out who Gale Whit was! Occurs to me I could stop back at the house, or drop the former owner a card. I live fairly close, less than a mile, and the person who sold them was quite lovely. I'll report back if I learn anything. Thanks to everyone who took a look. :)[/QUOTE]
