Lucia

A delicate garland of red, blue, pink, and white flowers winds across a warm terracotta ground, its slender stems and scattered blossoms giving the mosaic an unusually graceful, airy quality. Each minute bloom is assembled from hand-cut glass tesserae and framed by a finely worked gilt edge.

Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a mosaic carried home from Rome held the memory of a whole season abroad, Lucia 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 5 x 3.5 x 2 cm (large).

Delicate and wonderfully detailed, like a tiny posy pressed into a keepsake from Rome.
