UNUSUAL VINTAGE MERCURY GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND

Product Description

WONDERFUL, VERY UNUSUAL STRAND OF FANCY VINTAGE MERCURY GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND. What beautiful old glass beads. These would be perfect for your Vintage design feather tree! Very unusual style and design. Rich, vibrant coloration, in shades of forest green and silver. There are a number of different sizes of beads on this strand. There are the large oblong, rippled pine cone shaped, forest green and silver colored beads, that measure about 3/4" each, large single silver and forest green colored beads, long extended pikes at each end, that measure about 5/8" each, the single forest green colored beads that measure about 1/4" each, and the tiny, dainty single silver beads, that measure about 3/16" each. Again, a very unusual strand. The beads are all in very good vintage condition, as shown in the photos. We have tried to remove any damaged or broken beads, so they are ready to be used and enjoyed. This lovely strand measures about 70" long, has a cardboard circle and a metal twist tie at each end. Each glass bead was hand blown in countries such as Germany, Czechoslovakia or Japan after WW II. Imports into the US then began in the late 1940's, into the 1950's. For more information and history on vintage Christmas items, visit The Golden Glow of Christmas Past web site.
