In the Soviet period, local industry workshops applied it to boxes, caskets and souvenirs, and the OTK stamp was the factory's quality-control mark. The red velvet interior is ready to hold rings, earrings or small keepsakes, making this a practical vanity piece as well as a collectible of Ukrainian Soviet-era decorative art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
