Here's a confetti lucite one I found this weekend on sale at a local antiques market!
The antiques market had a ton of beautiful ones at fantastic prices, but none of them had that flip over metal cover inside AND a screen - they all just had either one of the other. I think loose powder compacts are pretty much useless otherwise. I know you can buy the screens, though - does anyone know where? I'd found a website a long time ago that has them but I can't seem to find it again now that I'm actually looking!
Is that why my loose powder leaked all over the inside of my purse? No screen....I assumed that metal cover was the screen. Wow, I feel kinda stupid now. Beautiful compacts by the way.
