    I believe the tube bead you found is an "end of day" bead. The glass work was done for the day. and there were some slivers of glass about on the rolling table. So you rolled the tube in the shards/crumbs and then added it to your oven to slowly cool. Then it went home to a daughter or wife. Who may have used it on a lace bobbin or sewing box.

    In Toledo, Ohio, is an excellent museum, with a very extensive collection of glassware from every age in history. Ohio was a huge center for glassmaking, thanks to all the deposits of natural gas. Fenton, Kanahwhah, and many more makers were centered there at one time, though now they are in neighboring W. Virginia. Some of the curios we saw in the museum were made from the scrap ends of glass by the glassblowers and apprentices at the end of the shift, and included a lot of beads like the spattered example you found.

      Nicola White (tidelineart) had done a lot of great PR for the RAOB when she would find their pipes -- I wrote to them asking if they could make her an honorary member -- unfortunately the RAOB are a "Men Only" organization -- though they really did appreciate all of the positive publicity that Nicola had provided for them....

    The milk glass bead you found might be a sew-on (that's the American term for that kind of embellishment: small, flat on one side, domed on the other, with 1 or 2 holes running all the way through). It would have been stitched into the bodice or cuffs of women's clothing, a purse, a sash, or sometimes on hats.
