Potter & Moore Lavender Seller powder compact. At first glance you may think this is a Yardley Lavender Seller compact but no it is much more rare. Made by Potter & Moore c. 1930. This company was established in 1749 by the physic gardeners Ephraim Potter & William Moore who specialized in growing lavender. Their location was rural Mitcham. Their Eveline Road premises extracted lavender oil . This area of England had been known from the 1500s to produce lavender. The company's reputation for high quality products guaranteed their success & they are still in business today.

This gorgeous antique compact is in excellent condition. The celluloid lid still beautiful - a lady in an emerald green hat, shoes & dress with a black bodice riding side-saddle on a black horse holding a sprig of lavender aloft. The horse has been fitted with huge panniers which are full of lavender. The background has subtle creams and yellows, the lower ground is brown & grey. The lower ground and fences are gilt. The most charming of vanities & without any fading to this durable lid at all. On lifting the lid you will see an excellent mirror surrounded by a bezel which is deep gold in colour.
