Almond Blossoms Glass Box
This lovely, bevelled glass box features a detail from Van Gogh’s Almond Blossoms series of paintings. The box has a hinged back with a cloth tab for easy opening and is fully lined in black velvet.

History
Puccini’s original version of Madama Butterfly premiered at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in 1904. The composer was inspired to write an opera about a tragic love between a young Japanese geisha and an American Navy officer after seeing David Belasco’s play by the same name performed in London in June 1900. Puccini’s score includes many Japanese folk melodies, and is one of his most sweeping and sophisticated. It remains one of the world’s most popular operas.
