Description from the seller

France. 1920s. Elegant Vanity Set housed in a rigid leather pouch with initials and a button with a press-stud closure (probably onyx). The condition of the case is more than good (some discoloration in the leather and signs of age). Inside, there are three magnificent glass bottles with safety glass stoppers and three screw caps made of silver, stamped with the 'Minerva Head' mark, placed both inside and outside. There are also stamps 'L Coeur' inside a lozenge, a 'C' stamp, and a very worn silversmith maker's mark. See photos. Given the high quality of craftsmanship, stylistic elements, and the stamps, it is believed that this item was a Made to Order piece created by the Maison Cartier, especially considering the presence of the 'L Coeur' stamp.
The bottles are in excellent condition. Box dimensions: 12x9x6.5 cm. Each bottle measures 8.5x5.4x3.4 cm. Beautiful design in crystal. The weight of the three bottles is approximately 372 grams. Total weight with the rigid leather pouch is 487 grams. Shipping fully insured and trackable. Protective packaging.
