AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An excellent collectible piece representative of utilitarian jewelry making from the mid-20th century, combining the durability of industrial manufacturing techniques with the aesthetic charm of European revivalist movements.

Century: 20th Century (specifically mid-20th century, c. 1940–1970).

Style: Neo-Rococo / Revivalist. Although the piece uses exuberant vegetal motifs, scrolls, and the guilloché background typical of the 18th century, the perfect symmetry of the decoration, the mechanical stamping method of the relief, and the serrated edge on the lid's rim reveal a refined industrial production from the mid-century.

Diameter: 5 cm
Weight: 30 g
