Originating from Venice, Italy, these beads were produced during the late 1800s to early 1900s and played a significant role in African trade, particularly in Ghana. The lampwork technique, also known as wound glass bead-making, involves skillfully winding molten glass around a metal rod to create intricate patterns and designs. These trade beads were highly prized and used as currency, making them a vital part of African cultural exchange and economy.
