A sophisticated two piece Italian decorative set carved from beautifully coordinated golden alabaster, dating to the 1960s or 1970s.
The set comprises a rounded rectangular box and a sculptural bud vase. Both pieces display warm golden yellow coloring with softly clouded natural veining and contrasting black stone accents.
The box has a removable domed lid bordered by a narrow black band. The lid lifts away completely to reveal a smooth alabaster interior suitable for jewelry or keepsakes. The underside retains its original Genuine Alabaster Made in Italy label. The box measures 5 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep and 2.25 inches high.
The coordinating vase has a rounded bulbous body rising into a tall, gently waisted neck. A black stone rim encircles the opening and complements the dark detailing of the box. The vase measures 3.25 inches in diameter and 6.5 inches high.
Italian alabaster objects of this period were traditionally carved and finished in workshops surrounding Volterra, a region celebrated for its centuries old alabaster industry. The beautifully matched stone, restrained silhouettes and graphic black accents make this set especially striking when displayed together.
An elegant addition to a desk, vanity, bookshelf or cocktail table.
