Bought in the Via Brera, Milano store in 1984 from Piero Fornasetti personally.COLLECTORS ITEM.Fornasetti  created more than 11,000 items, many featuring the face of a woman, operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri, as a motif. Fornasetti found her face in a 19th-century magazine. “What inspired me to create more than 500 variations on the face of a woman?” asks Italian designer, Piero Fornasetti of himself. “I don’t know,” he admits, “I began to make them and I never stopped.”

Other common features in his work include heavy use of black and white, the sun and time. His style is reminiscent of Greek and Roman architecture, by which he was heavily influenced. Fornasetti jewellery & accessories are very hard to find and are sought by collectors worldwide. These are hand signed buttons with inscription note & have remained in their case since purchase in 1984.
