Distinct and refined, this vintage Italian micro mosaic pill box marries sculptural metalwork with the delicacy of mosaic art. A single red bloom, framed by soft ivory petals and green leaves, rests at the heart of a deep cobalt field. The floral centerpiece, composed of hand cut glass tesserae, is surrounded by a gilt surface engraved with ornate swirling motifs that shimmer gently as the light moves across it.

The design feels both bold and intimate, blending strength and intricacy in a way only Italian artisans could achieve. Once carried home by travelers of the early 1900s as mementos of their journey through Italy’s artistic heritage, pieces like this were tokens of beauty and devotion. Today, it can be woven into modern life - a pill box, a sentimental gift, or an heirloom to grace your home.
