The tiles are surrounded by intricate clear glass seed bead mosaic work on a round glass bowl base. Perfect for a votive candle, tea light, or small LED fairy lights to create a warm, colorful glow.

Handcrafted aesthetic, colorful rainbow harlequin pattern, fits various decor styles (Boho, Mediterranean, Eclectic), and produces beautiful light patterns when lit.

High confidence for a modern handicraft import. No specific maker's mark is expected for this type of decorative export ware.
Flaws to Note
Grout lines may be slightly uneven; potential for individual bead loss; surface may feel rough due to the nature of the mosaic.
