Old Chinese wound glass 30mm round bead in opaque yellow with a touch of green. These beads date from the early 20th century. These large beads were often used as counterweights to court jewelry as well as table cloths. They weigh in at 40 grams. Very rare and very limited quantity.

These beads are popularly called Peking glass but are not true Peking glass. These have the distinctive soft gemstone colors and bubbles of old Chinese glass made in Boshan, Shandong province in China.
