An exceptional and rare vintage mid-century dual-sided travel pocket mirror. The front features an official National Palace Museum (Taiwan) cultural souvenir plaque replicating a traditional Qing Dynasty botanical painting of peonies and butterflies.
Crucially, the front cover utilizes vintage 3D lenticular animation technology—when tilted or moved, the holographic butterflies dynamically shift, giving the illusion of fluttering wings.
The reverse base features the highly collectible, authentic Stratton engine-turned 'all-over tulips' textured pattern, indicating the mirror blank was manufactured by Stratton in Birmingham, England, during the 1960s/1970s. This is a rare unbranded blank variant commissioned specifically for museum gift shops.
Interior & Mirror Condition: - Opens securely to reveal two clean, intact mirrors (one standard, one magnifying). - Internal gold-tone bezel trims are bright with light, authentic vintage patina. - Hinge and thumb clasp are fully functional and snap shut firmly. - The shifting lenticular front plaque has excellent color preservation and animated movement.
