Lady Cameo powder jar.  This is the first decorated one that I have seen.  Since these powder jars are elusive, they were probably only made for a short period of time.
This striking powder jar is in
Undamaged Condition without chips,
cracks, or mold damage.
The cold paint is there, but it is worn and missing in some spots. I considered removing it, but since the decoration is unheard of I decided to let the new owner decide to keep it or not.
Jars like this were filled with powder and then sold. After the powder was gone they could be re-filled, or used as jewelry or trinket boxes.
Lady Cameo (1930s) ( Pink Satin, Green Satin, Black Satin)
The 8" tall "Lady Cameo" powder jars have an oval bowl and an oval foot. The finial is the profile of the head of a lovely lady with short, curly hair. A headband crosses the top of her head with a flower positioned over each ear. The surface of the lid has twelve narrow embossed bands of overlapping leaves that radiate outward from the finial. Between each band of leaves is a single embossed flower. The 5.25" long oval powder compartment has four plain recessed embossed hearts. The area between the hearts is embossed with multiple-sized leaves. The pedestal stem contains an embossed cameo which matches the finial of the lid, and the bottom of the pedestal is flanked by two curlicues. The two colors found most often are green satin and pink satin. The black satin color is considered rare.
