A beautifully carved vintage trinket box, attributed to Volterra, Italy, based on the original sticker present on a nearly identical piece with a sticker on the underside reading “Genuine Alabaster – Volterra.” The carved vertical striations and warm, earthy green-brown tones are consistent with mid-century Italian decorative boxes produced in the Volterra region.
The box features a fitted lid with a brass-tone band detail and a pleasing weight in hand. Whether used to hold jewelry, matches, or small keepsakes, it makes a handsome and textural addition to a collected interior.
Comparable examples of similarly sized Volterra boxes can be found in the current secondary market.
Dimensions:
4 inches x 2.75 inches
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age and use. No chips or cracks noted.
