Delicate and serene, this vintage Italian micro mosaic pill box features a sweet bouquet of sky-blue and white blossoms with cheerful yellow centers. Each tiny flower is hand-cut from glass tesserae and carefully set against a pale gray ground, framed in a gilt metal border with rope-like edging. Its soft palette gives it a gentle charm, making it stand out from the more dramatic, jewel-toned boxes of its era.

Every micro mosaic is a singular creation, crafted entirely by hand. The slight irregularities in placement, the fine wear to the surface, and the patina of age are not flaws but cherished signs of authenticity and proof of its history and the artisan’s touch.

Collected as Grand Tour keepsakes throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, micro mosaic boxes embodied romance, artistry, and memory. Today, this delicate piece continues to enchant. It is perfect for holding small treasures, gifting to a friend, or displaying as a fragment of historical beauty.
