This is another beautiful micro mosaic pin I have in my collection, most likely from Italy. I posted about a similar, yet larger piece on 2/15/2011. This pin is much smaller, unmarked, and features red, white, yellow, black and green oblong glass slivers (known as tesserae) set in goldtone metal. Some of the best micro mosaic designs actually contain approximately 3,000 to 5,000 pieces of tesserae per square inch!
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on www.rubylane.com is coming soon.
