This purse is c.1925-1930. The pink, green and maybe the yellow glass beads are color lined. It's important not to keep it out in any light. Light will fade the color lined beads. Do not get it wet either, water will wash out the color. The blue beads may be carnival beads which are solid glass. I would call this a "puffy" beaded purse.
