A candy box can be a wonderful gift. We offer you this delicate piece, made of hand-painted glass, worthy of any collection.

Centuries ago, aristocrats in France and Italy gave little guests a little attention called "bomboniere" ("bonbonniere in French and" bomboniere "in Italian) before they left home. Afterwards, the candies were offered to the guests on name days or other festive occasions. They were small boxes, made of porcelain, crystal, precious stones or metal. Delicacies made of sugar were placed inside such a box. From these gifts derive the wedding testimonies of today. In those days, the wedding was considered a lucky occasion. When the couple gave candy and other gifts to the guests, he also gave them some of the luck that had befallen him. In most cases, these lucky gifts consist of five almonds or candies that represent fertility, health, longevity, wealth and happiness.
