Vintage Celluloid Powder Box

More Boxes & Bags
More Vintage Finds
Lovely pieces like this were originally used for powders for the face, or talcs for the body. Of course there would have been a fluffy powder puff inside. With the advent of inexpensive plastics in the 1930s, vanity items like these became more readily available. We are fortunate to have a few of these special powder boxes made of true celluloid.
Most cases are 2-3/4 inches in diameter (70 mm), some are a tiny bit larger and others a tiny bit smaller. The lid slides on for a nice fit. Please be careful if you really fill your case with powder - don't pick the box up by the lid or you'll have a powdery dresser top. When closed with the lid, the little case measures the same in height as the diameter (2-3/4 inches).
We love the old printed cardboard boxes as well as the metal ones, but there is something so warm about celluloid, both in the patina and the feel. We're sure you'll find just the perfect use for yours!

More Ephemera
More Christmas
We just love these vintage coasters. We're not quite sure of the year these were created, by the style, we suspect the late 1960s or early 1970s. The scalloped edge adds an extra special festive flavor.
The paper has aged as it should but is in good condition considering that this was an item that was generally discarded. They are made of paper and something like waxed paper to protect the furniture. The printing si superb!

Rustic Hand Made patinaed Tin & Talavera Tile Mirror
More Wall Art
The artisans of Mexico have long been known for representing every day items in extraordinary ways. Such is the beauty of talavera tile and tinsmithing. Each tile might be thought a work of art on its own.
This lovely mirror features such talavera tiles in a scalloped pattern - almost like a peacock's feathers. The dark blue tiles allow the muted jewel tones of the design to stand out nicely. Made in the traditional colonial style in central Mexico, the highly decorative mirror features antiqued tin and may be hung either horizontally or vertically (as shown).
Such a stunning mirror will compliment any style home but it will be absolutely wonderful in a Spanish colonial, southwest or rustic décor.
Each mirror is slightly different due to hand crafting. The design of the tiles and the tin work will be very close to the illustration. The size may differ slightly as well. Most are about 15-1/2 inches by 13 inches.
We have covered the mirror for the photograph, but it will arrive with your frame. The mirror may be removed if you prefer to use this as a frame.

Handcrafted Scalloped Oval Aged Tin mirror
More Mirrors & Other Wall Art
Aged tin mirrors are a unique accent to any home - no matter the décor. And the oval style is so versatile that it easily compliments American Southwest, Spanish Colonial, rustic, and even an Adirondack theme. This is a stunning example of the amazing tinwork creations handmade by artisans in Mexico. Each mirror is authentically designed and created by a traditional artisan.
There may be some slight variations in color due to the aging process of the tin. There is a self-hook on the back to hang the mirrors vertically. But, it would be easy enough to hang it horizontally as well.
What is truly wonderful about this tinwork is that it enhances just about any lifestyle design. You can expect some variation in design and size, but all are almost identical to our illustrated mirror.
Although every artisan accomplishes work in a unique style, there are many similar steps in creating traditional tin work. The tin is cut and aged and then embossed, debossed and formed into this wonderful symmetrical design. We especially love the scalloped border around the mirror itself.
For the illustration, we have slipped some black paper over the mirror to reduce reflection.
This piece measures approximately 16 by 13 inches.

Leaf-Shaped Bowl made of Recycled Paper
More Recycled & Green Products
Adapting necessity to art, traditional basket-making techniques are used to make these wonderful little pots or bowls. Artisans use recycled posters from printing companies. First they make long flat strips of paper, dipped in glue - then dried. Then, after the strips dry, the artisans wet them again form them into useable shapes, like this little bowl with a lid. It is all held together with the glue as the strips are coiled. Sturdy household items are the result.
The brightly colored random patterns are derived from the shapes and the contents of the posters used, so you may see some printed words on yours, too.
We were particularly enchanted with the leaf-shape of this clever bowl. It is great in any room - even on your desk. It measures about 5-1/2 by 2-1/4 inches.
Each bowl is different, not only because it is handmade, but, because the paper strips are never the same from item to item. So, please let SilverCrow choose one for you.

Love to embroider, but don't have anything in mind? Maybe you don't want to create a towel and there are no new babies in your midst. Why not tackle a denim cozy for your beer or pop can?
Made of dark classic denim, you can embroider just about anything you like on these. Because they are darker, you might have to modify your iron on transfers to be sure that you can see them. Or, you can just trace over the ironed-on motif with a piece of sharpened white chalk (or use our little mini chalks for details).
We really like to use fabric paints on these - especially with kids - how perfect for them to create their own gifts for their families. Encourage them to create their own designs.

What an interesting piece of folk art this is! Made of tin, in the Mexican tradition, this mirror features a likeness of Frida Kahlo as an angel. Her wings are made of hands outstretched, yet protecting her at once. Her bodice is three-dimensional and features a bustier as typical of her own paintings.

It is designed with a built-in easel for standing on a table or shelf and with a hanging loop for displaying on a wall. The design is such that the mirror remains closed while displayed until you open it.
This very special piece has been created by traditional tin artisans in Mexico and hand crafted and painted there as well. The the bodice of Frida's dress varies in color and some doors open to the right and others to the left. Please let us choose one especially for you!

This stunning clip holder hails from the largest African Tribe (the Zulu). The Zulu have long been known for unmatched skill and artistry in weaving baskets from native grasses. Urban Zulu, faced with little access to natural materials, are now fashioning the same baskets from recycled telephone wire. This bright, washable and sturdy basket, or mbenge, is one of many created in unlimited colors combinations of intricate, mesmerizing designs. No two are alike - as the colors of the wire available and the patterns differ!
This gorgeous clip holder will make a striking statement in any room - particularly an office, art room or studio. It measures a bit over 3-1/2 inches in diameter at the top and is about 2 inches high. The inset picture shows the mesmerizing pattern on base of the holder.
You can certainly use this sturdy little bowl or just display it as elegant décor.
