Oval pill case/small item holder featuring the traditional Venetian technique of glass mosaic (millefiori). Millefiori: Meaning "a thousand flowers" in Italian, it is a technique that creates mosaic patterns by combining colorful small glass rods (canes) made so that the cross-section looks like a floral pattern, like a Japanese "Kintaro-ame" candy. Origin: This technique is a traditional craft that has been passed down since ancient times on Murano Island in Venice, Italy. In addition to being a pill case, how about using it as a jewelry box for small accessories (rings, earrings, etc.)? As it is an old item, there are some dullness and peeling of the plating. Thank you for your understanding. OHS70100
