| LanchPre These three Art Deco compacts are American I believe, though they have a very French name. I have found several examples in Laura Mueller's book of 1999 Values but I know little about the company. The Blue Rose motif is used on several of their compacts |

This compact has dual compartments for a pressed powder pan and rouge and is stamped 'Flair'. A goldtone case, black lid with gold swirls and a central panel of a red weeping tree. Most of the powder has gone but the rouge is intact. I bought the 3 compacts which were sold as a set on ebay. Beautiful condition. |

Silvertone background with blue intaglio roses and shading. Signed 'Blue Rose', this compact features on Page 75 of Laura's book. About 2" square with cut-out corners. Lovely condition. |

This case is even smaller, about 1.5" square, again with the cut-out corners, in a very shiny goldtone (hence the shadow on the photograph) with the blue rose motif in the left-hand corner and signed 'Blue Rose' on the back. It has a small 'ding' on the lid. |
