Great 1940's vintage Venetian wedding cake beads.  These hand blown beads are an unusual and beautiful deep green color decorated with pink flowers, gold swirling trim and some very tiny blue, white, and red "flowers" with yellow dot centers.  There are three spacer beads of 2 clear and 1 green in between each Venetian bead.  The beads are graduated in size from a center bead of 19mm to the smallest bead of 7mm.  They are strung on their original chord and measure 17" in length.
