Warring States Glass BeadsGlass beads were manufactured during Warring States as ornaments, but some of them might have been imported from the west, since they were also made in West Asia. Western glass beads have higher sodium and calcium content, while Chinese beads are high in lead and barium. The difference in composition is sometimes used to differentiate the origin of their manufacture. Glass pieces were often combined with jade, gilt bronze or bronze to form composite pieces, adding a touch of luxury to the objects.
