• Design: The lid features a lithographed illustration of pastel pansies in shades of pink, yellow, and blue, framed by delicate green leaves and smaller accent flowers.
• Material: The casing is made of an early plastic—frequently described as creamy celluloid or "French ivory"—which has aged to a soft, pale yellow tone.
• Form & Purpose: Known as a "pancake" or "flapjack" compact due to its large, flat, circular shape (typically measuring around 4 to 4.5 inches in diameter), it was designed to carry loose face powder, a mirror, and a puff inside a woman's vanity bag.
