About the Item
A delightful fusion of luxury and whimsy, this rare vintage pillbox by Frascarolo is a superb example of the Italian master’s playful yet opulent design. Meticulously crafted in 18K yellow gold, the pillbox takes the form of a charming hippopotamus, brought to life with richly colored hand-applied enamel and finely detailed features.
The hippo’s eyes sparkle with brilliant-cut diamonds, adding a touch of glamour to this imaginative piece. The pillbox opens with precision, revealing a small, functional compartment—perfect for holding tiny treasures or pills.
This highly collectible Frascarolo hippo pillbox is a celebration of craftsmanship, character, and vintage charm. A rare find for connoisseurs of fine objets d’art and a testament to Frascarolo’s iconic legacy in jeweled animal creations.
