This listing is for a mid‑century Japanese vanity trio, consisting of two gilt Fragonard‑style compacts and one concealed flip‑open ashtray box. All three pieces share similar construction details — stamped metal bodies, piano hinges, and decorative finishes — making them a visually cohesive set for display or collection.
The two compacts feature classic Fragonard courting‑scene gilt transfers in bronze and red, each with its original three‑well interior tray. The concealed ashtray box includes a spring‑loaded cigarette rest that rises when the lid is opened, along with a floral porcelain lid insert depicting a rose, peony, and poppy. All pieces show light, age‑appropriate wear but remain clean, functional, and well‑preserved for their era.
This set displays beautifully on a vanity, dresser, or shelf and is ideal for collectors of mid‑century Japanese export goods, compacts, vanity items, or Rococo‑style décor.
