Vivid and full of character, this vintage Italian micro mosaic pill box captures the perfect balance of contrast and charm. Twin blooms (one golden, one scarlet) stand out boldly against a deep cobalt-blue field, surrounded by smaller white and emerald-green accents. Each glass tessera has been hand cut and placed with care, creating a richly textured mosaic that reflects the enduring artistry of Italian tradition.

Encircled by a silver-toned rope border, the oval form feels both classic and alive with color. Once beloved by early 1900s travelers exploring Italy’s ateliers and marketplaces, boxes like this were cherished as keepsakes of beauty and memory. Today, it can bring that same spirit of artistry to modern life - a pill box for daily use, a meaningful gift, or a striking conversation piece displayed in your home.
