Three MCM Italian Alabaster and Brass Claw Dolphin Footed Lidded Jewelry Boxes

About the Item

Set of three hand carved Italian alabaster claw and dolphin footed decorative boxes in blue, orange and beige coloured alabaster. I fell in love with their beautiful shiny colours and the heaviness of the material of these jewellery boxes with hinged lids, brass claw feet, brass dolphin feet and brass trim. This very elegant Mid Century Modern bulbous boudoir design lidded set of bowls would make a compliment to any vanity or dressing table. Perfect for holding all kinds of little trinkets, make up accessoires or cotton balls. The sticker underneath the blue one reads "Alabastra Genuine, Lavorato a mano in Italia" which obviously means "genuine alabaster, hand carved in Italy". Sizes: The blue one is 18,5cm high and Ø 9cm The orange one is 10cm high, and Ø 12cm The beige one is 4,5cm high, and Ø 7cm.
