Catalogue Note
Fond en émail peint bleu à rehauts d'or, le couvercle bleue et vert, l' intérieur bleu avec étoiles dorés.
Le décor exquis de ce petit coffret en émail sur fond bleu, vert et blanc est tout a fait caractéristique des émaux Vénitiens du XVIe siècle. Les palmettes formant une frise sur les côtés du coffret rappellent celles ornant le pied d'un reliquaire à la Walters Art Gallery de Baltimore (inv. n°. 44. 171). Un coffret presque identique appartenait jadis à collection Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Bergé (vente 25/02/2009, lot 595, adjugé 20.000€)
