An orange poppy and a golden-yellow bloom rest against a rich turquoise ground, scattered with white petals and green leaves, all bound in a gilt rope border. Every flower is shaped from hand-cut glass, each tessera laid by hand.
Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when a micro mosaic was treasured as a portable work of art, Marina is one of a kind and built to endure. Keep her on a vanity, fill her with small treasures, admire her as art, or give her as a gift meant to be passed 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 light wear that speaks to its history.
Unique: The exact piece pictured — one of a kind, and yours alone.
