Vanity Case and Lipstick Holder | Types | Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

We have one object of this type

A bright red, enamel, rectangular vanity case, with two gold and red chains linking it to a cylindrical, black, enamel lipstick holder that has bright red ends. The vanity case has three semi-circular applied black enamel panels that are decorated with silver branches and plum blossoms. The panel on our right is larger than the two panels on our left. The larger panel is in the center and the two smaller panels are near the edges. The hinge openings of both the vanity case and the lipstick holder are edged in gold.
