Francesca

A vivid gathering of scarlet, coral, yellow, blue, and white blossoms blooms against a rich green ground, each flower rendered in impossibly small pieces of glass. A fine gilt border gives the tiny garden the feeling of a painting in miniature.

Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a mosaic carried home from Rome held the memory of a whole season abroad, Francesca 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 4 x 3.5 x 2 cm (medium).

A tiny Italian garden at its most abundant, colorful, intricate, and wonderfully alive.
