This collection of approximately twenty-five powder compacts and vanity items includes pieces by identified makers such as Stratton, Swarovski, and Althorp. The items are constructed from various materials including gold-tone and silver-tone metals, guilloche enamel, mother-of-pearl, and resin. Specific pieces include an oval silver-tone compact engraved with the name Althorp above a script signature, and two Swarovski items identified by labels: one circular white-lidded compact marked Swarovski Crystal 2 and another marked Swarovski Elements. A circular compact is heavily encrusted with pink and white pavé-set crystals, and another features vibrant blue guilloche enamel with a gold-tone engine-turned border. A square-form compact features a tessellated mother-of-pearl lid. Several pieces are attributable to the British maker Stratton, including a black-lidded compact featuring the trademark hand-holding-compact logo, a white swirled meringue-style lid, and various engine-turned examples. The collection also includes a faux-malachite lid compact, items with floral-printed and starburst patterns, and a large black textured vanity case or evening bag with a metal handle.
