⌛History Behind The Piece⌛
During the early–mid 1980s, Italian stone workshops became known worldwide for their high-quality onyx décor, producing accessories for museum shops, luxury stationers, and upscale import boutiques. Grey banded onyx, in particular, was prized for its subtle striations and ability to be shaped into sleek modern forms. Pieces like this duck holder reflect that period’s refined craftsmanship — blending decorative art with everyday function.
