Compacts were made in all shapes, sizes and motifs. Figural compacts are very collectible today. It's fun to imagine the ladies carrying the hands, balls, tables, bracelets and fans just to powder their noses!

The Volupe apple! A great 1940s unused figural compact also known as the "Garden of Eden." It measures 3-1/2" x 3" and has a nice radiating line design on the front. The back is plain. It's a very shiny compact. The compact opens by pushing back on the stem and it reveals the mirror on one side, slight discoloration along the edges. The opposite side has the powder screen with signed puff. It comes with the original box. Volupte made several styles of the apple compact in the 1940s, always a great addition to a collection!

One of my favorite figural compacts---the vanity table!! It measures 3" x 2" and is gold tone with a mirror on the top. There is a scrolly design along the top edges, showing slight wear to the gold tone. I haven't polished it at all. The compact has folding legs that allow the compact to lay flat or stand like a vanity table! It has a mirror on the inside, slight discoloration areas. The opposite side has a lift up section for loose powder, no puff. It's marked Wadsworth on the inside lift up section. This was advertised in Vogue magazine in 1950, selling for $5.00!
