Though this item is no longer in our collection, it is one of our favorite pieces we had the pleasure of finding, so I thought I would share it. This Italian micromosaic was masterfully crafted. The pieces of glass were perfectly colored and placed making the feel of the piece perfectly smooth. I think this would be a Victorian Era piece. It was roughly 4 1/2" long by 2 1/2" wide. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
