A collection of three vintage decorative trinket boxes in varied shapes and materials. The first is an octagonal cream-colored ceramic box featuring a hinged lid with an applied gold-tone metal leaf decoration. The lid includes an oval gold-tone label with script lettering. The underside bears a red circular backstamp with the text MADE IN ITALY surrounding a central monogram of the letters C and V within a circle, alongside a handwritten pencil mark reading 555. The second is a heart-shaped box consisting of a red velvet-covered base and a gold-tone metal lid. The lid features a high-relief rose and foliage motif within a beaded border. The third item is a square box heavily embellished with gold-tone beadwork, heart-shaped sequins, and clear rhinestones arranged in a central sunburst pattern. Dimensions: Octagonal box W approx. 11.4 cm. Condition: The items show age-appropriate wear throughout. The heart-shaped box lid exhibits surface oxidation, pitting, and loss to the gold-tone finish. The octagonal ceramic box shows yellowed adhesive residue around the metal hinge and minor shelf wear to the base. The beaded square box appears generally intact with minor potential loss to individual embellishments.
