The warm ivory ground allows the birds and florals to stand forward clearly, while the hand-applied enamel retains crisp outlining and strong colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swallows, with their distinctive forked tails and outstretched wings, bring movement to the piece and are a classic mid-century decorative motif. The lower right of the lid is signed “Gaige.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior is gilt metal and marked “Volupte U.S.A.” The original mirror is present but cracked, as shown in the photographs. Powder compartment and internal fittings remain intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003e\nApprox. 7.5 x 7.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe enamel exterior shows no visible wear, with strong colour and detailing throughout, including the sides. The mirror is cracked. Otherwise structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the cracked mirror, this compact is best suited as a decorative collector’s display piece rather than for practical use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Compact Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54466584445269,"sku":null,"price":42.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/8339\/2597\/files\/il_fullxfull.7753618297_90wv.jpg?v=1785025335","url":"https:\/\/thecompactcollective.co.uk\/products\/vintage-volupte-enamel-powder-compact-12040","provider":"The Compact Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
