This is a lovely Vintage Art Deco Princess Mirror Compact made in Japan in the 1930s. It comes in a lovely presentation bag and would be a great gift for someone who enjoys Art Deco or Japanese collectibles
The lid features a beautiful detailed sailing boat on the sea with a light yellow enamel border to two sides. The compact opens to show an area for powder and the original powder screen. While the mirror is metal rather than the original glass one it does give a good reflection so it could be used as a pocket mirror.
There are a number of chips to the enamel and scratches to the metal base. There's also a small amount of deterioration to the metal next to the mirror.
It's a very unique Art Deco compact and would make a great gift.
It measures 6.8cm by just under 9cm (2.75 inches by 3.5 inches). It's depth is 0.7cm (0.25 inches).
