Name
Is there a more official English name than "Chinese candy box"?

I have never seen this thing before. Did you try doing a bilingual Google search?

It seems to me that it's more of a candy tray than a candy box, but a search pulls up more "candy box" hits. What do you think? Boxes are typically deeper and square or rectangular (though some boxes, such as hat boxes, may also be round). But this seems more like a tray. I assume
盒 doesn't mean tray, though.

There is also the more rare square box/tray. Rare enough that is is probably used 5% of the time. So it doesn't have to be a circle. I guess we're sticking to the name then. I was looking for some official name that I've never heard of.

I've been seeing "Tray of Togetherness" more often these days. Can we consider that as the more official term?
