Vintage Stratton Powder Compact, Mint Green Botanical Lid, Gold-Tone Case, Puff, Sifter and Slip

Golden fronds unfurl across mint green, a small garden held in the palm.

This round Stratton compact carries delicate gold-coloured botanical linework across a mint-green ground with a turquoise cast. Fern-like fronds, leafy stems, and small flowers spread over the lid, framed by a narrow polished gold-tone border. The reverse combines fine lines with a repeating star-like pattern.

Inside, a circular mirror faces a hinged inner powder cover bearing the Stratton name and emblem. Its softly ribbed surface echoes the warm reflective case. The compact is supplied with a puff, mesh sifter, and slip pouch, as confirmed by the seller. Their originality to this particular example is unconfirmed; no box is included.

The mirror shows fine speckling and localised foxing, including a small amber-coloured circular blemish visible in close-up. Light scratches and rubbing are present on the metal, with localised finish wear around the hinge and small marks at the lid edge. The sifter’s pale fabric border shows discolouration and use-related marks. Puff and slip inclusion is confirmed by the seller, but their separate condition is not established in the supplied photographs. Please study the close-ups for the visible age wear; this is not offered as unused or pristine.

A botanical vanity treasure for a keeper drawn to soft colour, golden linework, and the quiet ritual of a compact opened in the hand. Photographic props are not included. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
