Kigu Powder Compact Blue Enamel Swan Design 1950s Vintage Compact Mirror 8cm
A striking vintage Kigu powder compact featuring a beautifully hand-finished enamel lid in a rich cobalt blue, decorated with a graceful pair of swans gliding across the water beneath trailing willow branches. The scene is softly detailed with delicate greens and warm golden accents, creating a peaceful, romantic composition that immediately draws the eye.
The compact has a gently scalloped form, giving it an elegant silhouette in the hand, while the reverse displays a finely engine-turned pattern typical of Kigu’s quality mid-century production. Inside, the compact is signed “Kigu Made in England,” dating it to around the 1950s.
The interior retains both mirrors and the original powder well. There is visible age-related wear and powder residue, consistent with genuine vintage use. The piece remains perfectly displayable and could be used again with a replacement sifter if desired.
A beautifully decorative powder compact that captures the charm of a quieter, more romantic era — ideal for collectors, or as a thoughtful gift with timeless appeal.
