Three blooms: a blue forget-me-not, a red-orange poppy, and a pale companion cluster at the center of a vivid yellow field on this elongated octagon, edged in twisted gilt. Every petal is cut from glass by hand, each tessera set one at a time.
Made in the tradition of Italy's Grand Tour, when mosaics traveled home in the trunks of travelers as mementos of Italian beauty, Chiara 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.
