EVANS - Vintage Ladies Powder Compact with Mother of Pearl Lid & Center Insert of Faceted Faux Colored Rhinestones. 1940's - early 1950's.

I am listing a number of beautiful and unusual powder compacts from my collection of vintage compacts, I have currently listed on Ruby Lane the Evans Double Access Compact Carryall. This compact is signed Evans USA in the center of the powder compartment lid and the pristine never used powder puff is signed. The Evans trademark logo is very stylized and art deco style.

The top of the lid is covered with 14 rectangular pieces of iridescent Mother of Pearl. There are many Mother of Pearl compacts that were made, but this Evans is very unusual because of the beautiful and dazzling square center encrusted with prong set colorful faceted rhinestones in all shapes.

Laura Mueller's Collector's Encyclopedia of Compacts Carryalls & Face Powder Boxes shows the Evans Double Access Carryall version of this same Mother of Pearl and Faux Rhinestone center.

The gold tone compact measures 2-1/2" square x over 1/4" high. The bottom of the compact has a textured design and the powder compartment lid has a hammered texture with the Evans name in the center. The powder well is clean and never used and the 4 inside edges of the well are lined so that a screen is not needed. Both the top lid and inside well lid snap shut securely. There is no box but comes with a soft pouch to protect the compact.
