(#28, b1) ****************Glass beads were manufactured long before being used as Christmas decorations. Typically made for the European jewelry and millinery industries, glass beads and tubes were used on fancy Victorian clothing and accessories. They were mouth blown from hollow tubes of glass, separated with leaving a pike at each end, and then \"silvered\" on the inside. Due to economic fluctuations in fashion and the growing popularity of Christmas trees in the last quarter of the 19th century, the industry began making beads for Yuletide decorative purposes.Originally small, about 1/4\", round bead sizes grew to up to 2\" in diameter. They were sold in small strands, sometimes hung from the ends of branches like icicles, or individually, in the case of larger or more \"fancy\" beads. They were painted as solids, or with dots and stripes, and sometimes wire wrapped. Soon, paralleling the larger ornament industry, they were free blown into oblong tubular forms, or into ceramic molds as barrels, fancy shapes (twisted, indented, faceted, etc), berries, nuts, acorns, pinecones, and more. Eventually, the skill and creativity of the artists produced very detailed molded beads, including heads, flower baskets, and Santas, just to name a few. Beads for Christmas garlands continued to be produced throughout the 20th Century, and even up to today. Beaded glass chains are an excellent Christmas decoration to collect because of their versatility and their ability to be collected in virtually any price range. The smaller beads and common shapes, of course, are easiest to find and in the lower price ranges, while the more intricate molded beads are rarest and most expensive. They also allow for personal creativity because, traditionally, they were made to be mixed and strung to individual taste. Happy hunting and beading !!!! *****PLEASE CHECK OUT THE OTHER VINTAGE Christmas DECORATIONS THAT I HAVE LISTED AND CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I LIST MORE EACH WEEK.Please keep in mind that vintage/antique items are OLD ~ 50 to 100 years old. Thus, they will probably NOT be perfect. They may have paint loss, glitter loss, mica loss, dents, bumps, scratches. They have usually all been used in the past and thus have the patina of age and use. As with all my sales there are lots of pictures for judging coloring and condition - don t forget to supersize them for your best view.********************Almost all my items are older and used and come from estate sales, and unless described as perfect, may have to be cleaned; polished, etc., to look their best. Because they are items from bygone days, I cannot guarantee that they are from a smoke free or pet free Environment. Every effort has been made to describe the item as accurately as possible. I urge buyers to examine all photos and descriptions carefully and to e-mail me with any questions, concerns, or clarifications prior to the end of sale. If I have made a mistake, refund is for item price not postage. ******************** I do not end sales early, please don\'t ask. It is unfair to others that are also looking at that item. ********************Thanks for looking at my sale, please look at my other sales for more vintage items and good luck in the hunt for your piece of the past.PaymentBack to Top
