This was given to my parents, who were working overseas, by someone they worked with. It has not been used and has been stored at home. The illustrations are by Donald Brun, an illustrator from Basel, Switzerland, and they are quite cheerful. It seems to be a novelty item from the pharmaceutical company Sandoz. As the back of the box says, the use is up to you. You can hang it on the wall, use it as a coaster, or as a plate.
