This is a vintage powder compact for cakes of pressed face powder.
As you can see from my photographs - it is nice and clean and never used.
There is a mirror in the lid which is generally clean with no disfiguring marks to the glass. It still has its original instructions guidance leaflet inserted in the base compartment.
The base section still retains its original powder sifter. The compact opens, and closes firmly by pressing the little tab on the front.
The exterior lid is a stylish dark Royal Blue enamel with an iridescent sheen - which is decorated around the rim with images and symbols relating to the Zodiac.
The enamel has a nice shine & sheen to it with no scratches. Again, all nice and clean and with no damage. The base of the compact is also lovely. It is gold-tone with a fabulous and dazzling geometric pattern.
It dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s.
The diameter is 8.2 cm (3 1/4 inches).
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.
