These Venetian wound glass trade beads were meticulously crafted in Venice, Italy, and played a significant role in the African trade during the late 1800s to early 1900s. The lampwork technique, also known as wound glass, involves skillfully winding molten glass around a mandrel to create intricate designs and decorations, such as the elegant trail decoration seen on these beads.
Venetian trade beads like these were highly prized in African cultures, particularly in Ghana and other parts of West Africa, where they were used as currency, symbols of wealth, and for ceremonial purposes. The vibrant yellow color and intricate trail design of these beads make them a remarkable addition to any collection.
