Vintage-Style Compact Mirror with Rhinestone and Faux Pearl Embellishment

This item is a compact mirror, likely intended for cosmetic use, featuring a vintage-inspired design on its lid. The physical characteristics include a circular, hinged case, appearing to be constructed from a metal base, possibly brass or a silver-toned alloy, given the visible hinge and rim. The top surface of the compact is adorned with an off-white or cream-colored enamel or resin, exhibiting a subtle marbled or swirled pattern. Centered on this creamy background is an elaborate, ornate embellishment crafted from silver-toned metal, possibly a base metal plated with rhodium or silver. This central design is a snowflake or floral motif, intricately detailed with numerous clear, round-cut rhinestones set in various sizes, alongside small, round, white faux pearls. The rhinestones are prong-set, and the overall design creates a sparkling, textured surface. The compact shows signs of mild wear consistent with age and use, particularly some slight tarnishing or dulling of the metal elements and possibly minor scratches on the enamel surface, though none are significantly prominent from the provided image. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially manufactured, with a focus on decorative appeal. Given the intricate rhinestone work and faux pearls, it suggests a style popular from the mid-20th century onwards, often replicating Art Deco or Victorian aesthetics, placing its estimated age as potentially vintage (20-100 years old) but more likely a vintage-style piece from later decades. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the image. The hinge mechanism appears sturdy.
