Step back into mid-century Italy with this gorgeous foil-accented matchbox, marked "1955" and "Made in Italy." Crafted by Leeds-Wallace, known for their premium souvenir collectibles, this piece blends religious symbolism and artisanal charm.
Design Highlights: An ornate gold chalice on metallic foil evokes Catholic Eucharistic imagery, Murano-style goblets, and ceremonial tableware. A bright yellow border with textured detailing suggests upscale craftsmanship, likely intended for decorative display or keepsake gifting. Striking mid-century aesthetics typical of 1950s Italian export artistry.
