I'm not even sure I called this correctly. I'm thinking that because there is a mirror on the flip side of the top this had something to do with powder. It's about the size of a "powder puff" I've seen my mother and grandmother use many many times. The item is in great shape with the exception of the mirror which has aged like so many old mirrors. But the overall condition of the piece itself is quite extraordinary. It definitely has that "look" I'm always looking for.
