Vintage Melissa Blue Enamel Powder Compact with Gold Rose Motif | Mid Century Vanity Compact | Collectible Powder Compact 8cm

A beautiful vintage Melissa powder compact featuring a rich cobalt blue marbled enamel lid adorned with a delicate gold rose motif. The deep blue colouring has a wonderful depth and movement, creating an elegant, almost gemstone-like appearance that catches the light beautifully.

Produced during the golden age of British vanity accessories, this charming powder compact reflects a time when beautifully crafted accessories were an essential part of every lady’s handbag. The simple gold rose decoration provides a sophisticated contrast against the vibrant blue enamel, creating a timeless design that remains just as attractive today.

The reverse is finished with a finely engine-turned gilt pattern, while the interior retains its original mirror and powder compartment. The bright gilt interior complements the rich blue exterior perfectly and showcases the quality craftsmanship associated with vintage Melissa vanity pieces.

Collectors are increasingly drawn to unusual enamel colours, and this striking blue example stands out from more commonly encountered floral and engine-turned designs. Its elegant styling makes it equally suitable for display on a vanity table, inclusion in a powder compact collection or use as a decorative keepsake.

Whether purchased as a gift for a collector or as a special addition to your own collection, this lovely powder compact captures the glamour and sophistication of a bygone era.
