Vintage Cherry Brand, Miriam Haskell Glass Beads 4mm, Japan Opaque Red #B31

Quantity:  50 beads
Size: 4.27mm (these beads are slightly larger than the other red ones I have that are 4mm)

These "Cherry Brand" beads were made for Miriam Haskell jewelry . They were hand crafted by people in the Osaka district of Japan in the 40's and 50's. The size and shape of each bead will vary slightly because they were hand made. These beads are rich in quality and history! They are "new old stock"...never used. I have taken a photo of the original box that they were stored in as well as one of the wooden crates that they were shipped in from day's gone by.
