VINTAGE ITALIAN COMPACT & ORIGINAL BOX
One vintage goldtone compact, known as a "portacipria vintage in metallo dorato" or to "vintage golden metal powder compact" translated. These compacts held face powder and the good ones featured intricate designs like this one. The better the design, the better the compact, and research did not find another one like it with this geometric design.
Closed, it measures 3 1/4” in diameter by just under 1/2” thick and is in outstanding condition. The mirror inside is as large as the compact. There is a minuscule indent on the reverse center but it’s hardly worth mentioning. The original puff and sifter are still present. This compact likely dates to the 1940s or 1950s and it looks like it was never used.
It belonged to my Grandmother and still has its original gift box and tissue. These identify it as made by Angelo Restivo & Figlio purchased in either Catania or Enna, Italy. It was purchased at one of two shops specializing in silverware, fine china and crystal/jewelry, and watches.
