<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9565529, member: 36"]Satin glass with a hidden clasp... Japan? The problem is that clasp was used all over the place, and those look like lampwork glass beads. They were done in lots of places. Most Czech stuff was molded, but the Italians did and do some lampwork. They're usually fussy about getting the clay out of the insides though. But not always - restrung some last night that still had a little clay in them. Modern junk beads from India and China often come with the clay still in them - goes everywhere when you string the beads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
