Joyful and radiant, this vintage Italian micro mosaic pill box glows with the warmth of a summer afternoon. A single sapphire-blue bloom rises at its center, surrounded by a cheerful ring of golden yellow and white flowers, all set against a brilliant red field. Each hand cut glass tessera reflects a touch of the artisan’s care, forming a vibrant composition that feels both playful and precise.

The circular form is framed in a rope twist gilt border, its golden tone lending a gentle luster to the lively colors within. Once cherished by travelers exploring Italy in the early 1900s, boxes like this were collected as small expressions of wonder and taste. Today, it can be woven into daily life - a keepsake pill box, a thoughtful gift, or a small conversation piece displayed in your home.
