Vintage MCM Red/White Glass Bead 24" Necklace Candy Cane

This is a 24" long vintage glass bead necklace. It is from my Aunt's estate but I don't know how old it is or the original maker. It has a push box clasp and the red/white glass beads are separated by smaller white beads that may or may not be glass, I can't tell. This is a beautiful necklace for the holidays! There are similar beads online described as being from Japan, handmade, in the 60s.
