Product code: Antique sold Japanese glass bead

Antique Japanese glass bead. Edo Period, ca. 19th c.

Lamp worked glass beads were luxury items in the sold Edo Period, and were often banned by the government's anti-luxury laws. The locations of workshops and the lamp work
techniques were kept secret.
