This is a vintage powder compact for pressed face powders. 

It is marked on the bottom of the mirror: Melissa.

It dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s. 

It has hardly been used - it still has its original vintage pressed powder cake inside and a used Melissa puff. I will pop in a new clean one with the compact. 

The main body is gold-tone - and the top of the lid has a traditional countryside scene with three horse riders in red frock coats on horseback. 

This is a traditional image of English huntsmen - they are not shown hunting foxes and I like to think that they are out on a drag trail. The image is in vignette form and has been transfer-printed in colours on the lid. 

The mirror inside the lid is clean and without marks or spots on the surface. 

This compact is more unusual - being a square shape - it measures 7.5 cm (3 inches). 

I have taken lots of images for your inspection. 

My asking price reflects its age and its exceptional condition. 

UK postage will be £4.95 and applied at check-out. I have a number of vintage powder compacts in my online shop. Multiple purchases will be capped at £4.95 in postage to you.

Fantastic personal service. I stumbled across site by accident but found a fabulous little powder compact to add to my little collection. As described and was packaged very well to protect it. Very swift delivery. Highly recommend this company.
