Story
In the heart of post-war Italy, the social ritual of the 'bomboniera' became an essential part of the cultural fabric, where families gifted beautiful porcelain boxes filled with sugar-coated almonds to commemorate weddings and births.
Maker / Origin
Car Bomboniere is a Florentine workshop that carved out a niche in the 'art of the gift,' specializing in high-quality porcelain for the Italian luxury gift market.
Condition & Value
The porcelain appears bright and well-preserved. Values for mid-century Italian giftware are driven by the charm of the motif and the condition of the gold gilding.
