AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling a splendid and rare mixed collection of 5 vintage small cases (pillbox, dressing-table jewelry box, and potpourri holder) in solid 800 silver, dating to the second half of the 20th century (70s/90s). This is not a modern commercial service, but a beautiful vintage collection that brings together the excellence of the most renowned and historic districts of Italian art silverware. All pieces are regularly stamped. The lot consists of 5 unique pieces:

Large Potpourri Box: Spectacular domed lid finely worked in filigree and hand-engraved to diffuse fragrances.
Apple-shaped Small Box: Iconic collectible design complete with raised leaf and stem. Made in Padua by the famous firm Rino Greggio (factory punch 29 PD).
Compact Pill Box: Very fine line with an elegant monogram engraved on the lid. Made in Florence by master silversmith Silvano Bianchi (punch 260 FI and official logo "S" engraved on the bottom).
Square Dressing Table Box: Essential design with rounded corners and splendid mirror-like glossy finish, produced in the Alessandria/Valenza jewelry district (punch AL).
Domed Sugar Shaker/Box: Classic line with a central knob. A piece rich in history that still bears on the bottom the original vintage paper label from the historic "Gioielleria Iannicelli" store in Santa Maria Capua Vetere (Caserta), with the Neapolitan school punch (NA).

Certified Technical Data:
Material: Solid and massive 800 silver (ALL pieces bear their State and factory punches)
Total real weight: 189 grams (certified with photo on the scale)
