    Lampwork anyway, a lot of them. Clay cores that haven't been cleaned out generally mean new low-value beads from China and India. The clay makes a mess when you string them.

    Agree. Fun beads for a project, but nothing terribly old or valuable. And may well be from China.

    Those look edible.

    no Roman ones, though.
