The intact domed glass is encircled with spiraled yellow metal and two lines of fine faceted steel beads. A third circle of faceted beads adorns the base of the box.
The beautiful natural material is tinted a vibrant pink! The base features a round reserve of its natural color. Inside, the back of the decoration is covered with sturdy cardboard.
The faceted steel beads are very lustrous with minor traces of oxidation.
There are a few dark spots consistent with age and use as a candy box.
Caution: firm closure; opening requires sliding a fingernail or a thin blade all the way around to create leverage.
