Unused Large Enamelled Vintage Stratton Powder Compact
A splendid unused large enamelled vintage Stratton powder compact. This model, the Stratton "Muffin", (with different lid decorations) has only three known years of availability - 1948, 1952 and 1953. All the original accessories are present - box, "Old China" range booklet, instruction leaflet, pouch, puff, sifter and guarantee rosette.
The compact lid is adorned with beautiful vibrant enamel. This design was taken from a Worcester Plate in the British Museum which came from the Lady Mary Wortley Montague Service 1770-1780.
The base is also enamelled - a lovely white coat with a border of lacquered brass. The compact was lacquered during the manufacturing process and so it will not tarnish or need to be cleaned. The interior case contains an excellent clear mirror framed by a bezel signed Stratton. The inner lid is also signed Stratton. All hinges and catches work perfectly. Measures 3 1/2 inches diameter and weighs 132.8 grams.
