These antique Venetian lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, were meticulously crafted in Venice, Italy. The lampwork technique involves winding molten glass around a metal rod, creating unique and vibrant designs.

Their historical significance and intricate beauty make them a prized addition to any collection.
