This round enameled pill box, created in the early 20th century within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is crafted from silver-plated alpacca (nickel silver). The lid is finished with a glossy, cobalt-blue enamel reminiscent of glass, its surface catching and reflecting light. At the center stands a hand-painted floral bouquet: a large white flower with a subtle celadon-green core, surrounded by smaller blue and white blossoms and delicate foliage. A slim white enameled line and a metallic rim complete the lid’s border. The body and underside also feature the mellow tone of silver-plated nickel alloy, with classic proportions that hint at late Victorian or early Art Nouveau tendencies. Inside, the box is fully gilded, offering a warm, vivid contrast to the cooler external palette. The hinge and clasp are small and visually discreet, emphasizing function and restraint typical of the period’s craftsmanship. The pill box is in very good condition, showing only faint surface abrasions and natural patina, with no significant damage or repairs.This small object carries with it the quiet resonance of an era when everyday accessories were crafted with decorative intention and precision. The pill box, with its glossy enamel and hand-painted motif, preserves the understated elegance characteristic of early Art Nouveau. Its gild
