Vintage English Plastic Tortoiseshell Dressing Table Tray and Bowl

Plastic imitation tortoishell tray and bowl, I think part of a dressing table set. It's stamped Made in England and is similar to ware produced by Halex, although their stuff was usually marked as such. The pot has a good fitting lid with a pointed finial. The tray has a little scrape on the inside edge  and the expected surface wear but considering its age - around 60 years old - both items are in surprisingly good overall condition.

Tray: 25.5cm x 19cm x 2cm

Bowl: 13cm x 7.5cm (incl lid and finial)

Vintage Plastic Tortoiseshell Dressing Table Powder/Trinket Box - Halex

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.

6.5cm x 12cm
