Virapulla

Virapulla is a traditional Swedish container designed to hold poker chips or tokens used in the card game Vira. Typically round and lidded, the virapulla often features separate compartments for each player and a reversible lid that can serve as a central pot. The name combines Vira, the name of the game, with pulla, a Swedish word derived from the French poulan, meaning a gaming bowl. While originally associated with porcelain or metal constructions, modern versions can be made from plastic or other materials. Though once a common household item in Sweden, virapullas today are primarily of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of traditional card games.
