AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant miniature box made of Italian 925 sterling silver, decorated with an exquisite insertion of artistic Millefiori Murano glass, one of the most recognized and valued techniques of the Venetian glassmaking tradition.

The lid features a delicate circular mosaic of polychrome glass with flowers and geometric motifs in shades of red, white, green and blue, produced using the famous Millefiori technique ("a thousand flowers"), developed by the Murano glass masters, Italy.

This type of handcrafted work consists in the creation of small glass rods fused together to form unique floral and ornamental compositions, highly appreciated by collectors of artistic glass and Italian decorative objects.

The silver structure features an elegant engraved and ornamental decoration inspired by classical motifs, giving visual lightness and great artistic refinement. The contrast between silver and Millefiori glass makes the piece a very decorative and sophisticated object.

It bears Italian 925 silver hallmarks and author mark "155 VE", corresponding to a workshop registered in the province of Venice, reinforcing its authenticity and Italian origin.
