Vintage Stratton Flying Mallards Enamel Powder Compact 7.5cm | Hand Enamelled Duck Compact with Original Pouch | Made in England

A truly exceptional vintage Stratton powder compact featuring one of the finest hand-enamelled scenes you’ll find. Against a rich midnight blue guilloché enamel background, four mallards sweep gracefully across a tranquil reed-fringed landscape, their colours beautifully vibrant and exquisitely detailed. The depth and brilliance of the enamel are simply stunning, making this a remarkable example of Stratton’s celebrated craftsmanship.

The reverse is finished with elegant concentric engine turning, while inside the compact retains its original mirror, signed Stratton inner lid, original sifter and powder puff. It also comes complete with its original Stratton pouch, a lovely finishing touch that is so often missing.

Beautifully balanced between fine craftsmanship and timeless British design, this is a compact that deserves a place in a serious Stratton collection. The quality of the enamel artwork alone makes it stand apart from the vast majority of wildlife-themed compacts produced during the period.

Measures approximately 7.5cm. Opens and closes securely. Presented in outstanding vintage condition with exceptionally well-preserved enamel, bright gold-tone finish and only the lightest signs of age, together with its original Stratton pouch.
