DescriptionThis rounded container and lid originate from an Ivorene makeup set, similar to cosmetic sets popular during the late nineteenth and into the early twentieth centuries. The container is a shortened cream colored cylindrical form. The lid lies flat while incorporating a decorative scalloped edge. A black border frames the perimeter, with a corner decorated with a blue flower and green leaves on one side. Another, slightly smaller container accompanies the set, appearing to be constructed of glass or plastic, and possibly incorporated inside the larger container.
