RARE
STRIKING
ITALIAN SCENIC ENAMEL features a RARE family scene of a
lovely lady flying a KITE while her husband and child look

this is an unusual outdoor scene with the woman amusing herself,
rather than playing the damsel in distress or romantic maiden. This
beauty is a BIG 3" x 3" at its widest points. NO
dings, scratches or flaws--very minor surface wear, if any.
SHINY VERMEIL goldwash is still bright inside and out; back looks
more silver, clean unused puff and CLEAR beveled mirror--overall in
EXCELLENT-NEAR-MINT condition. Marked
Made in Italy and 800 with a tiny symbol.
