Cartier lady's silver powder compact with 14K gold monogram plate (9 x 15 mm) on front and covered in a wonderful faux lapis stone enamel design, inside contains mirror and powder compartment and powder applicator, dimensions: 2 1/4 in. sq. x 3/8 in. deep (60 x60 x9 mm), weight 89.2 g., stamped "Cartier Sterling & 14K" on inner rim. Piece shows very well. Enamel on back shows slight wear commensurate with age, front enameling shows a number of tight circular cracks that are evident in raking light, but appear structurally sound showing no indication of any seperation from the silver it covers. These cracks would seem to have occurred by some previous stress applied to the inside back of the front cover at some previous time, otherwise in excellent condition.
