Swans Down PUFF, Celluloid Powder Jar and Brush for BABY

Dolls : Antique : Swans Down Puff, Powder, Brush Doll/Baby

 

Welcome to Maiden Memories! This sweet baby's bath set, powder, puff and brush were all purchased from the same person. She said they were her mother's who was born in the early part of the 20th century. The swans down and silk puff seems to be older than that, probably late Victorian era.

The powder container is made of celluloid and is delicately hand painted with sweet little pink posies. The baby brush has soft bristles and a lovely celluloid handle.

The puff seems to have an ivory handle as it is definitely not celluloid. The puff measures about 3" wide and stands 2.5" to 3" tall. There is a dark stain on one side of the silk part of the puff. I did not try to clean it.

The powder container is definitely celluloid (french ivory) and is 2.25" at the widest part of the base and almost 4" tall. It has a slight stain of rust on the inside. It may be removable, I didn't try to clean it. There is also one dark "pin point" spot on the outside.

The little brush is 5.5" long. It's little brush hairs are slightly bent from storage.

This is a wonderful find for a collector of baby memorabilia or a doll collector or something to just decorate your baby's nursery.
