{"product_id":"rare-vintage-stratton-blue-anodised-93494","title":"Rare Vintage Stratton Blue Anodised Aluminium Dog Head Powder Compact 8cm Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully rare vintage Stratton powder compact, beautifully crafted from blue anodised aluminium and adorned with an elegant gilt dog’s head appliqué. Unlike the more commonly encountered brass Stratton compacts, this lightweight design dates from Britain’s post-war austerity years, when traditional metals remained in short supply following the Second World War. Produced in far smaller numbers, anodised aluminium examples such as this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft powder blue finish is both striking and sophisticated, perfectly complemented by the finely detailed canine motif, creating a compact that is both distinctive and timeless. Opening to reveal the original mirror and powder compartment, it is a beautiful example of Stratton’s innovative British craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 8cm x 6cm, the compact remains in very good vintage condition with light age-related marks to the exterior. The mirror displays some age-related spotting, which has been left untouched in order to preserve the originality of this scarce and collectible example. Please refer to the photographs, which form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptional addition to any Stratton collection, this uncommon compact perfectly captures a fascinating period of British design when elegance, ingenuity and quality craftsmanship came together to create truly enduring pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Compact Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54510789558613,"sku":null,"price":94.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/8339\/2597\/files\/il_fullxfull.8373567183_qb9b_4cacff16-1e0b-4076-8656-c2885f14096b.jpg?v=1785610237","url":"https:\/\/thecompactcollective.co.uk\/products\/rare-vintage-stratton-blue-anodised-93494","provider":"The Compact Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
