Antique Blue & White Asian Style Ceramic-Bead Necklace

This vintage Chinese necklace features white, porcelain, oval beads- each hand-painted with blue florals. There are Chinese characters along the beads, adding some mystique to the necklace. Each bead measures approximately 1/2” each. The beads are hand-knotted on blue silk to match the graphics. The necklace measures 21” inches long... it’s a classic and unique look. There’s a pretty goldtone filigree slide-in box clasp (not precious metal). Overall in excellent vintage condition. Circa 1960s.
