Each year for more than forty years Estee Lauder has introduced a collection of limited edition solid perfume compacts. These compacts are beautifully designed and executed with incredible details and enhanced with beautiful enameling - some even glimmer with hand set colorful Swarovski crystals. Each one is truly a work of art that lasts and lasts with little or no loss of the original luster and beauty.

These perfume containers, some for liquid perfume and some for solid perfume, are always a limited edition, making them highly collectible. All are very well made with exceptional attention to detail. The vibrant enamels are always exquisite. The designs, contrast and textures always excellent. They are all so unique and colorful.

This a true work of art. The detail and use of colors is just incredible. These are highly collectible pieces of art work, and are produced one time a year and are rarely made again. This, along with the design and durability, makes them most highly collectible both in the U.S. and around the world. Special editions are rare and highly sought after with the prices on these vintage items continuing to rise over time.

Enjoy browsing, shopping, and OWNING some of these for your collection or start a collection for someone you love. The designs cover themes from fantasy to fun to heart-warming. For the twelve and under age set there are bunnies, teddies, and toy wagons. For the teens there are butterflies, sparkling jewels, ballet sh¬oes and tutus. For the young adults there are telephones, purses and tennis rackets. And for the "mature" folks there is everything from cameos to beautiful vintage items like Jeweled Jukebox. All for your pleasure!
