    I wonder what era is this purse from?
    It is pretty big and heavy around 370 gram.
    Comes in seuide holder with handle.
    The only mark is 800.
    I suspect that it was made in Italy but not entirely sure.
    Any thoughts?

    Gorgeous, Lennyt.
    My first one is that it is upside down, the flowers seem to be falling out of the basket.;)

    800 could also be Austro-Hungarian or German. If the stones are garnets, I strongly suspect Austro-Hungarian.
    Although the Austro-Hungarian empire had a good marking system, many items were unmarked, or just marked with the fineness.

    Could we see the suede case?
