Vanity No. 02- Traditional Lavender Powder Dish Set

Vanity Dish No. 02 — Traditional Lavender Powder Dish  ❧

Vanity Set · Stillroom-Made

Botanical icon: Lavender Sprig & Twine · Collection: Vanity Sets

Found Again · Rooted in the Stillroom Tradition

A stillroom-made vanity set, assembled for everyday use.

This glass-covered powder dish is paired with a soft powder puff, a vintage silver-plate powder spoon, and Traditional Lavender — the Stillroom Provenance. Though newly made, the dish follows the same quiet order as older vanity pieces: kept close, opened often, and returned to its place without thought.

There is no display here, only habit.
The dish opened in the morning light.
The spoon lifted, then set back.
The powder used because it belongs there.

Kept. Used. Loved.

The Stillroom Powder — Traditional Lavender

Inside the dish rests Traditional Lavender, a finely milled, talc-free dusting powder blended in small batches in the stillroom. Clean lavender is left unadorned — herbal, steady, and familiar — the way it has long been kept for daily use.

Light on the skin and close to you, this is lavender meant to live on the vanity table, not to be saved.

The Spoon & Puff

A new stock-vintage silver-plate powder spoon is dressed simply with a length of vintage-inspired ribbon. A soft powder puff rests inside the dish — full, light, and meant to be used.

Together, they recall the small, ordinary tools once kept at hand — nothing precious, nothing wasted, everything returned to its place.

Stillroom Assembly

Each Vanity Dish No. 02 set is assembled by hand in the stillroom. The powder dish is wrapped archive-style in paper and cotton string, finished with a hand-applied label using traditional wheat glue. The powder is tucked into a stillroom envelope and secured beneath twine with a brass fastener.

A small, unannounced note is included — a quiet human touch, meant to be discovered rather than described.

There are no archive cards included with this set. What is given is what is needed.

Maker’s Note The label on this piece is applied using traditional wheat paste — a simple flour-and-water adhesive long used in bookbinding, apothecary work, and archival labeling. The label itself is printed on vintage writing stationery, chosen to echo the materials once used for marking jars, drawers, and shelves in the stillroom. Together, these choices reflect the tradition of making and marking by hand, valued for their gentleness, reversibility, and history. {The wheat paste is used only in the application of the label and does not come into contact with the powder.}

Use & Care

Dust lightly on clean, dry skin after bathing or before dressing. Rest the puff inside the dish; return the spoon to its place. Refillable and made to be used — a small, everyday ritual gathered in glass and habit.
