This
is an absolutely wonderful vintage powder
tin compact! Made sometime between 1925
and 1935...this outstanding Art Deco powder
tin measures 2 1/2 inches around and features
a gold tone tin compact with a Greek key
design border, and a lovely terracotta
colored enamel center that has been stencilled
with a black silhouette of a nude woman
under a tree, playing some kind of a musical
instrument, like a flute. The lid is not
hinged, it lifts off and this piece held
either a cake or loose face powder. It
is not signed, so i do not know the maker.
The condition is good with light wear,
and a few scratches and a tiny dent on
the back side that can be seen if tipped
to the light. If you collect or these
fabulous vintage powder tin compacts...you
will want to own this one! It displays
well...and would be an excellent addition
to your collection! The art deco design
reminds me very much of the Design that
was on many of the art deco DeVilbiss
perfume lamps. ID=Powder33
