Case, beauty case
Travelling beauty case containing three rectangular shaped bottles and two circular pots containing Innoxa beauty products. The square shaped case is covered with black leather, it has a small lock and key but the leather handle is now broken. A mirror attached to the inner lid can be pulled out and angled from the bottom to rest on the front edge of the case for easier application of the products.
The base of the case is divided into 6 compartments, one for each of the five remaining glass pots & bottles together with a spare compartment for a pot of face powder, now missing. Each jar and pot has a light blue plastic screw top, all but one still have paper labels and contain the residue of cosmetics described as follows: facial pack bleaching cream, 'matine' or day cream, 'astringent lotion' and 'complexion vitaliser'.
