An absolute highlight for collectors of the finest lead crystal and high-quality silverwork.

The lidded box is made of high-quality, heavy lead crystal with a masterful, deep swirl and fan cut that beautifully refracts the light.

The upper collar and the lid knob are made of solid 800 sterling silver with a refined vermeil plating. Both elements bear the official Italian silver hallmarks: the fineness mark "800" and the Florentine maker's mark "★ 455 FI" of the renowned luxury silversmith Argenteria Miracoli (Florence).
