A jewel of the dressing table.
This vintage Foster compact features a glossy black enamel lid framed in ornate antique-gold filigree, crowned with a delicate guilloché-style rose cameo. The enamel is pristine — a rare survivor — and the interior still holds its original rogue and powder puffs, rested with time and memory.
The mirror that once lived inside has slipped away over the years, leaving the compact with a poetic sense of absence — like a love note missing its signature. It displays beautifully and serves perfectly as a vanity keepsake, altar adornment, unique gift, photography prop, or sentimental token tucked into a velvet-lined drawer.
For the nostalgic romantic, the collector of quiet relics, the one who knows that beauty is something we remember as much as we see.
Estimated Era: (c. 1948–1955)
Manufacturer: Foster
Condition: Enamel & latch pristine considering the years passed; a few scratches unnoticed by the naked eye. Inside rests the original rouge and puffs, untouched by time; mirror missing
Color: Black, gold, rose cameo detail
Use: Display décor, photography styling, vanity altar, keepsake box, vintage vanity collectors, vintage gift for her.
