| Old Japanese Biidoro (vidro, Portuguese) kanzashi made out of a glass. Glass making was introduced to Japanese by the Portuguese in 16th century and there has been a glass manufacture in Japan since that date. It was particularly popular in Japan during the 19th century. The style of this kanzashi is called tama (ball) kanzashi. The ball is 3/4" (in diameter) natural coral. It is rare to find a glass Kanzashi in this condition. Kanzashi is 7 7/8" long. Meiji period (1868-1912). | |||||||||||
