Darling little rouge compact from the 1940s...Evening in Paris by Bourgois. The container is polished brass with ribbed sides and incised "wings" logo on lid. The bottom is stamped Evening in Paris, Bourgois, New York Distributor.

I have four of these miniature compacts, all unused. All have their little puff and original cellophane cover over the rouge. Each cover has a mirror. They were well stored and are in excellent condition. Some have tiny age spots on the mirrors but are pristine in every other way.

Each compact measures 1 1/2" across. Price is for one compact.

Ivory enameled loose powder compact by Helena Rubinstein. I am not entirely sure of the era for this smart little compact but I am guessing 1930s because of the clean deco lines. The material is brass with ivory enameled stripes on the lid. Rectangular in shape, it measures 3" x  2". The bottom is machine tooled. Inside is a flip top powder compartment with original sifter screen and puff. The mirror has beveled edges. 

The condition is beautiful no nicks to the enamel, no dents or scratches. The bottom has a teeny bit of wear, really minimal. The mirror inside is clear and bright but there is a tiny nick on the edge.

Very Good condition

Sweet little vintage vanity catch-all.

The ceramic has a black glaze with veins of white to simulate marble. The front has a lovely resin cameo with black and cream background and "carved" womans portrait. These resin cameos were actually molded, not carved, but the really nice ones (like this one) were so beautifully done they looked very close to the real thing. The cameo is framed in painted gold filigree. It has a basket shape with single handle. I am not sure of the exact date but I believe it's later 50s to early 60s when there was a craze for all things Neo-Classical...The mark on the botton simply reads Japan.

The size is small, just 4" X 4", perfect for the vanity or a small desk. I photographed it with a group of vintage ink pens but you could also use it to hold lipstick, hair accessories...or any number of little items that need coraling.  The condition is perfect... no nicks or cracks and the gilded paint is still clear and bright.

(Pens are not included)

PS... I found this with a matching vase which I have shown on my Etsy site Miss Melody. You can see it here
