Designed for housing rings, delicate jewelry, or small desk keepsakes, these artistic stone vessels add vintage texture and artisanal character to vanity tables, nightstands, and bookshelf vignettes. Includes complimentary, fully insured standard shipping directly to your doorstep.\u003cbr\u003eDeep Cultural \u0026amp; Historical Background\u003cbr\u003eCrafted in South Asia's historic lapidary centers, these vessels showcase Parchin Kari (commonly known as Pietra Dura), an intricate stone-carving art popularized during the Mughal dynasty. Skilled artisans carefully carve recessed channels into soft steatite stone, hand-shaping minute slices of multi-colored minerals, jasper, and shell into fluid botanical patterns before flush-setting them within the surface matrix. The unique spade motif and classic oval form blend traditional floral imagery with Mid-Century decorative novelty design.\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003eExcellent vintage condition with full structural integrity preserved across both vessels. The hand-fitted lids rest securely on their respective bases. The inlaid mineral slivers remain tight, flush, and intact with vibrant coloration against the speckled cream and golden-ochre stone backgrounds. Natural hand-carved surface character and soft, age-appropriate finish patina throughout.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions, Shipping \u0026amp; Display\u003cbr\u003eSpade Box: 3.3 inches (Length) x 2.4 inches (Width) x 1.3 inches (Height)\u003cbr\u003eOval Box: 3.0 inches (Length) x 2.4 inches (Width) x 1.3 inches (Height)\u003cbr\u003eWeight Profile: Solid Stone Weight (Pair)\u003cbr\u003eShipping: Free Standard Shipping (Fully Insured \u0026amp; Securely Boxed)\u003cbr\u003eMounting\/Display: 2-piece object set; display furniture, backdrop panels, and styling accessories not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049578721566,"sku":"BA-0257","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8491646434_5kpc.jpg?v=1790371369","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-stone-trinket-box-set-pietra-dura-floral-inlay-spade-oval-dish","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
