    First off, I'm not sure if this little compact mirror is Japanese or Chinese and was wondering if anyone here on CW here would know?
    I came across it on my last trip to the charity shops and of course was drawn to it's rather understated beauty, that and the fact I really love compact mirrors and love collecting them and it's quiet rare that I do actually come across them so this was something of a treasure I think! :P
    The other thing I was wondering about was it's handle- it's got some weight to it and whatever it's made from is quiet clear but under certain light conditions has a rather greenish opaque or even milky tinge to it. Could it be some sort of agate? Or is it just some kind of resin?
    Cost €25 ($28.01/£22.08)

      This is a nice Chinese export handled mirror with a decorated porcelain plaque on one side, and some ornate metal settings. The handle if cool to the touch is a stone, probably serpentine, if not cool, that would be resin, but I would be surprised if it was. The handle is supposed to mimick white jade.

      Dates late 20th century. Thanks for posting.
