Description: 1947 Volupté 'Nineties Mitt' Enameled, Gold Tone Hand Compact. Period: 1940s. Designer: Ruth Warner Mason. Manufacturer: Volupté. Manufacturer’s Mark: 'Volupté' on inner lid. Condition: Excellent with patina; sans puff; some loss of mirror plating as shown in enlargement three photo. Book Piece: Compact referenced on page 208 of "The Collector's Encyclopedia of Compacts and Carryalls" with white enameled mitt. Dimensions: 2 1/8” L x 4 1/2” W x 5/8” H. Please Note: Images are enlarged to show detail. Actual dimensions are listed above. An absolutely marvelous 1947 whimsy compact for the avant-garde glamour girl who demands that her accessories make as brilliant a statement as she does. Oozing with an unbridled fabulousness the likes of which are rarely seen in compact form, this beauty was renowned in the 1940s given its dramatic departure from prevailing sensibilities in compact design. Known as the 'Nineties Mitt,' this Volupté gold tone hand compact is a veritable stunner from its gorgeous black enameled lace mitt to the exquisite multicolored enameled bracelet adorning its wrist. This design coupled with a positively ingenious juxtaposition of ultramodern form and extraordinary functionalism made this compact a sensational and definitive collectible then… and now.
