A large shark miniature figurine handcrafted in Italy during the 1980s or 1990s. Stamped 800 (Continental Silver (800/000)), it is making its first-ever appearance on Vintage Silver Boutique. The line visible on the piece is also present in another identical example we own, so it may be intentional; this has been considered in the retail price.
Marine-themed silver miniatures are a recurring subject in Italian decorative arts, often inspired by the country’s deep ties to the Mediterranean. The shark, a powerful symbol of strength and determination, adds an element of bold character to a collection.
