    hi all

    found this little compact at a boot sale, for next to nothing

    has some bad wear though which is a serious bummer

    looks like it is hand painted ? enamel ?

    does it look right for deco period ?

    tiny, only 2 inch diameter

    any thoughts appreciated

    Too sweet. Given size, I'd think it was for rouge.

    Cool thanks deb, I love the image, but the wear I think would put off most collectors, still like it for what I paid for it though

    Must be early Art Deco. Her hair isn't bobbed.
