Vintage Italian Egg-Shaped Pink Alabaster Trinket Box with Gold Trim, Circa 1960s-1970s
This exquisite vintage trinket box exemplifies the artisanal tradition of Italian alabaster craftsmanship from the Volterra region in Tuscany, where the translucent stone has been quarried and carved since Etruscan times. Hand-carved from a single block of pale pink alabaster, the box takes the form of a softly rounded egg, standing approximately 4.5 inches in height with a diameter of about 3-4 inches. The exterior showcases the material's natural luminescence and subtle veining, evoking a gentle, feminine elegance ideal for a vanity or display shelf. The hinged lid, framed by ornate 22-karat gold-plated brass edging, opens to reveal a softly lined interior cavity suitable for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or small treasures. Supported by three delicate gold-toned ball feet, the piece combines sculptural form with functional design, reflecting mid-20th-century Italian souvenir artistry produced for international tourists. Minor age-appropriate wear, such as light patina on the metal and faint surface scratches on the stone, enhances its authentic character without detracting from its appeal. Overall, it is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or structural damage.
