Porcelain half doll powder box styled after early 20th-century vanity accessories. Pieces like this were popular between the 1910s and 1930s, when decorative dresser items were designed for ladies’ boudoirs and dressing tables.
The upper figure represents a half doll — a porcelain lady figure whose torso forms the removable lid. Originally, boxes of this type held face powder, rouge, hairpins, or small personal items. They were often paired with powder puffs and perfume bottles as part of coordinated vanity sets.
The layered dress forms the container base, while the figurine lifts away to reveal the storage compartment inside.
Decorative porcelain construction suited for vanity display, trinket storage, or collector presentation.
