Vintage Genuine Volterra Alabaster Swivel Top Trinket Box | Hand-Carved Italian Marble Jewelry Box | Made in Italy
This authentic Genuine Volterra Alabaster trinket box is a beautifully hand-carved Italian decorative box, crafted in the historic Volterra region of Tuscany, renowned for centuries of fine alabaster artistry. The original label confirms it is Made in Italy and features a distinctive patented swivel-top lid, a hallmark design highly sought after by collectors.
Carved from true Volterra alabaster, sourced from the subsoil of Castellina Marittima, this piece reflects the refined skill of the local master craftsmen known as alabastrai. The smooth, luminous stone and elegant form make it both functional and decorative.
Often attributed to Ducceschi (also seen spelled Tuccideschi on vintage labels), these swivel-top boxes were produced in a variety of shapes—hearts, spheres, squares—and colors, and were commonly used as jewelry boxes, trinket boxes, pill boxes, or catch-all dishes.
