This is a lovely Antique Silver Compact Pot from the early 1920s. It would be perfect to use for face powder or for storing small items in such as vitamins or rings.
It comes in a pretty green gift bag and would be a great present.
The makers mark is JE. It was Hallmarked in London in 1922. The Hallmarks are on both the lid and base.
Its made of Sterling Silver. The lid lifts off to show a gilded interior. Inside the pot is a very pretty small used powder puff.
The Silver is shiny with a little tarnish. There are quite a few dents to the box around the edge of the base and the lid. The lid is quite firm and needs to be lightly pulled to lift off. There is a very small mark to the inside base of the pot where powder has been glued.
The total weight is 13.9g.
It measures 3.5cm diameter (1 3/8 inches). The depth is 3cm (just over 1 1/8 inches).
