Rare Vintage Stratton Wedgwood Powder Compact, Matte Green Classical Relief, Scalloped Gold-Tone Case

White drapery unfurls against muted green, a small classical tableau held within a golden frame.

This vintage Stratton powder compact brings a matte green Wedgwood element into a scalloped gold-tone case. White figures in relief stand out against the quiet ground, their flowing drapery giving the lid the presence of a miniature sculptural scene. The reverse offers a contrasting field of fine linear texture, small repeating motifs, and a Stratton, Made in England mark.

Identified by Vaen’kai Vault as a very rare example, this is a compact for a collector drawn to the meeting of classical ornament and vintage vanity design. No production quantity, precise manufacture date, or identification of the depicted figures is claimed.

The close-ups show pronounced rubbing and loss of the gold-tone finish along the outer scalloped edges and around the green insert, exposing darker areas beneath. Surface scratches and small marks are also visible on the metalwork, with marks and discolouration on the pale powder-compartment area and small dark specks on the white relief. These details are part of its condition record; please examine the photographs carefully. It is not offered as pristine.

A classical vanity relic, quiet in colour and rich in detail, chosen for a keeper who sees beauty beyond an untouched surface. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
