VINTAGE 20thC ITALIAN BLUE ICE GRANITE STONE BOX c.1960
Vintage 20th Century Italian stone box crafted from black and Blue Ice granite (Blu Ghiaccio). The contrasting tones of deep charcoal and icy blue create a crisp, speckled surface, characteristic of this striking ornamental granite.
Blue Ice granite is a hard igneous stone composed primarily of quartz and feldspar, giving it both durability and a naturally crystalline texture. Its blue-grey flecking, often set against a darker ground, produces a cool, architectural appearance that became popular in the mid-20th century for decorative objects and interior features. When cut and highly polished, the stone reveals depth and subtle variation, with each piece displaying a unique mineral pattern.
Reference Number: D11816
