Hallmarks & Construction
A clearly photographed '800' fineness stamp appears on the inner metal edge, accompanied by a smaller impression that is not confidently deciphered. This supports describing the item as 800-marked; no independent laboratory assay is available.
Design & Finish
A sharply defined oval silver border sets off the near-ink-blue top. The simplicity of the setting makes this a particularly clean decorative object for a vanity or display cabinet.
Technical Details
One individual vintage object; exact measurements, total weight and complete metal composition have not been supplied and should be confirmed before sale. All essential surfaces and visible marks are documented in the accompanying photography.
Collector Notes
Offered as a distinctive vintage personal or decorative accessory, with its identifiable design features documented and without an unsupported artist, maker, rarity or manufacture-date attribution.
Condition
Visible fine scratches, edge patina and handling traces consistent with prior ownership. The hinge and metal rim are pictured. Enamel composition and any restoration history are untested.
Authenticity & Material Disclosure
Descriptions are based on photographed details and any visible stamps. A number stamped on a component does not independently establish the composition of every fitting. Where no readable mark exists, precious-metal content is not represented as verified.
Shipping & Care
Carefully packed and dispatched from Turin, Italy, with signature-required delivery where available. Use gentle, material-appropriate cleaning. Mechanical lighter working guarantees do not apply to decorative accessories.
