Red poppies, a blush-pink bloom, and a spray of blue forget-me-nots gather into a full bouquet on a soft turquoise ground, bound by a twist of gilt rope. Every petal is shaped from hand-cut glass, each tessera set by hand.
Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a traveler might carry a mosaic home from Rome or Venice as a memory made tangible, Celeste is one of a kind and built to endure. Rest her on a bookshelf, let her hold stud earrings by the bath, keep a locket or a folded note inside, or give her as a gift meant to be handed down.

Era: Mid-20th century (c. 1950s), Italian Grand Tour revival.
