Favor Needed on Czech Compact

(1/3) > >>

Ohio:
I need a favor. At one time I was certain I had run across documentation that this was
Inwald, however I could only recover 75% of my files during a a PC crash three years ago. She is signed Made in Czechoslavakia on the bottom & is a ladies makeup compact. We call her Alexandria in the US, but I think the name is simply something someone gave her. I ran through the Inwald catalogs I found on line, but evidently did not find the right one. I sincerely appreciate anyone providing a URL to the correct catalog. Thanks, Ken 

Lustrousstone:
What's the base like please?

Ohio:
Christine I'm not certain I understand your question? The base is shown in the photo & unfortunately this is the only photo I have since I sold it a couple of years ago. The base has areas for lipstick, eyebrow pencil & rouge, puff & powder, etc. I've tried to modify the original jpg to just show the base, but not certain if its good enough. Ken

Anne:
Hi Ken, I think Christine means the bottom side of the base, as Inwald is known especially for highly polished shiny (mirror-finish) bases on many of their items, so that can be a good pointer towards their output.

It's a fascinating piece and I've never seen one like this before... I'd have assumed American rather than European without the Made in Czechoslovakia mark. :-[   There's nothing like it shown in Schránky Vůní - České toaletní sklo od počátků do současnosti by Jitka Lněničková,  Petr Nový a kol., (published Jablonec nad Nisou 1999).

Hopefully someone will be able to help with more information.  :thup:

pamela:
Need to take some pics of mine tomorrow, it's matt finished and no enamal colours left (if there were at all) Will also photograph the base, which is slightly domed I think.
No markings, also always presumed US
