me in my mystery flower frame. There are two of them - me in one - one of my sisters in the other.
I have always loved this frame - but I know nothing about it - It's so beautiful - like each flower is handcrafted from little pieces.
Can anyone Help?

Most beautiful photo!!!! Beautiful frame! miKKo
Vetraio50 - you are legendary. Bang on!
Italian Micro Mosaic 1880's - 1900's They mention Milliefiori glass tesserae's as the flowers. Interesting! Didn't realise they are glass.
Just found some on ebay.
They are so pretty - good thing I didn't know about these before - I would have started to collect them! God help me now!
Thank you miKKo for kind words :-)

Hi AmberRose - I will certainly do so - I am now very scared about my newfound love for micro mosaic and god help me there is jewellery too??!! I am going to see if my sisters frame is the same as mine.
Thank you Manikin and lundy. I wonder if my mum has the same to say lol!
Just bouncing in to tell you about "Love Tokens" I don't know if you read the response to your question on them so I'll repost it here. Have a great day and thanks for viewing my stuff.
Love tokens are generally defined as coins on which one side (or sometimes both sides) has been smoothed down and engraved with initials, names, phrases and/or scenes. These were often given to young ladies as "tokens of love" by suitors, seems to have originated as a practice in Great Britain in the early 1800's, and migrated to the United States in the mid- to late-1800's.
Flowerrose, I took a quick peek on eBay at the m m jewelry. Wow did it go up in price. I will keep a look out for you on my treasure hunts so I can help feed your new addiction : )
Trust me to choose an expensive habit! Thank you for being my Micro Mosaic Scout ....... let the fun begin!
Hear! Hear!

A very pretty photo in a lovely frame. I've never seen one like this before. "Micro mosaic picture frame". I'll have to try to remember that. I know that my wife would love it! Thanks for sharing! (:
Whoo Hoo Laura Ashley - maybe I was stylish back then and never knew it!
I do remember it was a warm dress. Thank you Bruce - the frame is lovely isn't it - I had never seen anymore like this so it's a wonder to discover what they are and that's there more out there. Lovely!

Flowerrose, a very beautiful example of colourfull micro mosaic handcraft. I'll like it very much, keep on collecting. As you I'm also fond of nice smelling fragances but the only thing I collect is antique jewelry.
