Notes
A stylized circular bowl with a smooth frame. It is made of red, white, black, gold and green mosaic glass using a Roman technique called millefiori (thousand flowers) which involves cutting by lines/rods of different colors of glass after which they are slowly heated in a mold until they fuse together.
