Vintage miniature sculpture with a naturalistic and realistic style, depicting a small life size snail, handmade in Italy between the 1970s and 1980s in genuine solid Continental Silver (800/000).
A tiny subject full of quiet poetry, where the spiral shell shape and the snail’s posture are captured with delicacy and precision. It is one of those pieces that stands out precisely because of the theme choice: simple, everyday, yet transformed into a silver miniature with real personality.
Never seen on Solo-Argento.
An ideal piece for collectors of naturalistic miniatures, lovers of unusual subjects, or anyone looking for a discreet but truly original vintage Italian silver collectible.
