Description

Vintage Rosary with Blue Glass Beads – Early to Mid-20th Century A vintage rosary, likely dating from the 1920s–1950s, featuring cylindrical blue glass beads strung on a brass or base metal chain. The beads have a slightly irregular shape, indicative of early glass-cutting techniques. The metal links show signs of age with a natural patina. The rosary includes a small centre medallion, possibly depicting religious imagery, and a stylised metal crucifix with slightly flared arms, a common design in European Catholic devotional items from the early 20th century. Overall, this piece is in well-preserved condition with expected signs of wear, making it a fine example of mid-century religious craftsmanship.
