The flower’s core is embellished with vibrant enameled details that give astonishing three-dimensionality. A collectible decorative accessory to be displayed as a true modern art piece. The item retains the original label from the historic shop “Tessitore Argento,” a nod to bygone times that further adorns the piece and confirms its origin.
