Most of these were produced in Europe in the mid to late 19th century. During this production period the beads were hand faceted and had conical perforations. There was a revival period of \"vaseline\" style beads production in the Mid 20th Century and the beads pictured here are from that period. You can also see \"vaseline\" glass used in vases, compotes, bowls, candlesticks and other utilitarian pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe picture is an example; yours will be similar.
