Vanity Set No. 01- Pressed Glass Traditional Powder Dish Set | Traditional Lavender Powder

☙ Vanity Set No. 01 ❧

Pressed Glass Powder Dish

A complete powder ritual · gathered for everyday use.

Everything needed to bring powder back to the vanity table: a covered pressed-glass dish, 2 oz of Lavender Dragée dusting powder, a soft powder puff, and a vintage Oneida Prestige silver-plated spoon.

The powder arrives separately in its stillroom envelope, ready to be spooned into the dish and used after bathing or before dressing.

Kept. Used. Loved.

Lavender Dragée

Lavender Dragée recalls an old compact lifted from a rose-lined vanity drawer. Lavender, scented paper, soft powder, and a delicate sugared note come together in a fragrance that feels familiar, even when the memory itself cannot quite be named.

Finely milled, talc-free, and cornstarch-free, it leaves the skin softly finished with a gentle fragrance that stays close.

This is lavender meant to be lived with, not saved.

 Dragée (n.)   a sugared confection, pastel and delicate; once tucked into lace sachets or silver boxes to sweeten the air and delight the senses.

An exclusive scent available only with the vanity sets.

The Pressed Glass Dish

The covered dish is newly made from clear pressed glass. I chose it for its pleasing weight, useful size, and familiar vanity-table shape.

It is pretty without being too delicate for everyday use. The fitted lid keeps the puff and powder neatly gathered and ready for the next morning.

The Puff and Silver-Plated Spoon

A soft powder puff rests beneath the lid. Each puff comes in soft ivory or vintage dusty pink and is finished with a small sewn bow.

The spoon is genuine vintage new old stock from Oneida Prestige, in the much-sought-after Distinction pattern introduced in 1951. It is silver-plated and comes tied with a vintage-inspired ribbon.

These spoons have never been placed into ordinary household use, although they may show a soft patina or faint signs of their many years in storage.

Wrapped in the Stillroom

I assemble and wrap each set by hand in the stillroom. The dish is wrapped archive-style in paper and cotton string. The powder is tucked into a stillroom envelope and secured beneath the twine with a brass fastener.

The paper label is applied by hand using traditional wheat paste. The paste is used only on the outside label and never comes into contact with the powder.

The Complete Set

• One newly made covered pressed-glass powder dish
• 2 oz Lavender Dragée dusting powder
• One soft powder puff with a small sewn bow
• One vintage new old stock Oneida Prestige silver-plated spoon
• Stillroom envelope and hand-wrapped presentation

Use and Care

Spoon a little powder into the dish. Press the puff lightly into the powder, tap away the excess, and dust over clean, dry skin.

Hand wash the glass dish and dry it completely before refilling. Keep the powder and puff dry. Remove the ribbon before cleaning or polishing the silver-plated spoon.

Refillable, useful, and meant to remain on the vanity.
