The article I have written is missing just few examples of beads. I will
list them below and if you can find them and wou;ld be willing to share a
scan of them with me for the article I would be most grateful. Check your
Spangles and Superstitions book for more details.
A "Marvered bead" ( This bead has corrugated edges as it was run over a
corrugated surface when it was molten. It is like a sort of a cog (if that
helps) Quite rough in some ways )
A Pompadour bead. To be honest, though Thomas Wright mentions it I do not
really have any idea about what it could be. I throw myself to your
superior knowledge. It was named after Louis 15th's mistress. I would
would imagine it would be round and pretty! :)
A decorated Square cut. That would be your common or garden square cut bead
that had colour/ knobs/ any sort of thing on it that would stop it from
being classed as "plain".
Evil eye bead, I have modern one but I would love the swirly serpent that
ends with an eye or variant on this.
Yes, I also would like a Steeple Claydon. I have a couple of examples but I
am far from sure they fall into the authentic requirement. They are
spangles with about 20 smallish beads on them (almost like a bracelet!!)
Also if you have any examples of "really" out of the ordinary beads or
spangles... like unique, and ideally historical as opposed to modern (not
madly strict on that) Really fun stuff. :)
If you do scan it then scan at about 300 pixel per inch ideally.
The article is in fact written but waiting for these illustrations.
