1956 Saint Peter Basilica Jewelry Dish Rome Societa Italiana Vintage Porcelain

Description

This is a vintage, Mid Century, handpainted porcelain pin or trinket dish that features a beautiful rendition of Saint Peter's Basicilla in Rome, Italy.  The antique dish is stamped on the back, "K-B Societa Ceramica Italiana Laveno" witha mark featuring an eagle.  In addition, there is a handwritten notation, "S. Pietro - (upside down V) 5-56 Roma Italy"  The miniature dish has a gold rim and vivid color.  I inherited this dish more than 35 years ago from a miniature collector and am pretty sure the 5-56 indicted the date of May 1956.  The dish is in great shape, no breaks or cracks.  This vintage pin dish measures about 4" wide.  This would make a wonderful addition to a porcelain miniature collection or as a reminder of travels to Rome, Italy.
