Very Old Dutch Beads

Qty 9

As on the cover of research book "A handbook on BEAD's" by W.G.N van der Sleen.

These beads have all the characteristics of being super old. The somewhat rough

appearance. The White design layer is starting to chalk and is started to slightly

yellow. Both are also signs the beads may have been buried. These are not the

smooth bright beads with paper white designs. Great for Historical use. Beads

like this have been found at numerous 1600's and 1700's sites. PS. the

term "Potash" beads was derived from the chemical analysis of

excavated beads that showed a high amount of Potash was used in the glass.
