Description from the seller

Elegant and refined, this egg-shaped casket represents a classic of Italian artisanal silverware, perfect as a collectible item or as a precious table-top jewelry box.

Material and Finish: The container is made of solid 800 silver. On the bottom, the inscription "handcrafted" and the state stamps are clearly visible, certifying its authenticity and the high value of the metal. The interior is smooth and spacious, divided into two halves that fit together perfectly.

Technical Details and Condition:

· Type: Egg-shaped container / Portagioie.

· Materials: 800 Silver.

· Weight: 110 g.
