Beatrice

A joyful garden of scarlet poppies, white daisies, golden blossoms, and tiny blue flowers spills across a brilliant turquoise ground. Framed in softly rounded gilt metal, the composition has the exuberance of a miniature summer garden, every petal shaped from hand-cut glass and each tessera set by hand.

Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a mosaic carried home from Rome held the memory of a whole season abroad, Beatrice is one of a kind and built to endure. Set her on a bedside table, let her hold rings and studs by the sink, keep a folded note or a locket inside, or give her as a gift meant to be handed down.

• Materials: Hand-cut glass tesserae set in a gilt-metal case.
• Era: Mid-20th century (c. 1950s), Italian Grand Tour revival.
• Condition: Vintage, with gentle wear that adds to its history and charm.
• Unique: No two are alike; this is the exact piece you will receive.
• Size: Approximately 6 x 4 x 2 cm (extra large)

A particularly exuberant little garden, bright as an Italian summer afternoon.
