1950s Vintage Mascot Compact with Courting Couple
A striking oversized 1950s compact by Mascot, Made in Great Britain, measuring an impressive 4" x 4" and featuring a romantic pastoral scene to the lid with a courting couple in vivid colours beneath a clear finish.
The large gold-tone case is finely engine-turned to the reverse and stamped “Mascot Made in G.B.,” confirming its authenticity and quality. Inside it retains both the original sifter and puff, making it a highly collectible piece of mid-century cosmetic history.
Its larger-than-average size makes it particularly eye-catching for display, yet it still remains a functional accessory that could be repurposed for modern powder or used as a decorative vanity piece.
The mirror shows only light age-related marks and the casing has minor surface wear, but overall it remains in good vintage condition with strong collector appeal.

Sizing Guide
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
