Bianca

Tiny but remarkably elaborate, Bianca holds a jewel-bright cluster of red, blue, yellow, and white flowers against a dramatic black ground. A scalloped border dotted with miniature blossoms makes the whole piece feel almost like a piece of antique jewelry.

Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a mosaic carried home from Rome held the memory of a whole season abroad, Bianca is one of a kind and built to endure. Set her on a bedside table, let her hold the smallest rings or studs, keep a tiny token inside, or give her as a gift meant to be treasured.

• 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 3 x 2 x 1.5 cm (extra small).

A diminutive treasure with all the intricacy of a much grander piece.
