SOLD
This is an imitation tortoiseshell pot in lightweight plastic by Halex. Halex is probably more familiar as the manufacturer of most of the world's table tennis balls but it had a huge range as the major producer of finished plastic goods in the country for several decades after its formation in 1939. This was probably part of a dressing table set at one time as it smells strongly of face powder. Some light scratching and a couple of marks on the inside base from something hot - it has melted although not all the way through. I am guessing from the 1950s - early 60s. Nice retro item.
