AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

**Lot of nine porcelain pill boxes – Floral decorations and gilded finishes**

Charming set of nine collectible porcelain boxes, varying in shape and decoration. Small objects intended to house trinkets and memories, capable of creating a colorful display in a cabinet or on a vanity.

The round, oval and rectangular shapes alternate with contoured profiles, with decorations ranging from multicolored bouquets to roses on a white background, from latticework with tiny blue flowers to arabesques on a yellow background. Some pieces feature deep blue borders, gilded motifs and metal mounts with a decorative clasp and lock; the rectangular yellow box, however, has a removable lid.

On some bases there is the mark **Del Prado Collection**, accompanied by the wording **“Fine Porcelain – Hand Finished”**. The lot brings together pieces that are marked and others without verified attribution.

**Indicated dimensions:** from the largest, height 4.5 cm × diameter 5.5 cm, to the smallest, height 3 × 6 × 4 cm.

**Conditions:** overall well preserved, with signs of aging, localized wear to the finishes and patina on the metal mounts. The patina has been preserved, leaving the buyer free to decide on any cleaning interventions. The photographs are an integral part of the description.

Seller's Story

Welcome to a fascinating journey into the beating heart of the 20th century, where the objects that animated that era are transformed into custodians of timeless stories, passions and emotions in a journey that combines the elegance of antiques with the unmistakable charm of vintage. From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation. Every object, whether it is an antique piece of furniture or a rare vintage item, carries with it stories and emotions, evoking memories of a time that continues to inspire.
