Rich red lacquer rectangular vanity case with rounded corners, accented with diamond rose motifs on black enamel panels at each short end. The satin sheen of the smooth enamel contrasts with the sparkling diamonds. The clustered roses are round and stylized, their petals rendered in short, overlapping curves. The black enamel panels, rectangular in shape except for scalloped ends facing in, are bordered in diamonds. The long side of the case has a central protruding pearl thumbpiece. The case is slightly open, revealing a bright gold, shiny interior. The case is positioned at an angle on a softly reflective white background.

A rectangular gold vanity case, with a central high-relief plaque and flat black enamel geometric designs along the edges. The rounded rectangular plaque features a pot of flowers in a variety of materials: glinting purple-red ruby flowers with bright green emerald leaves, tucked in a bright blue carved turquoise pot fitted with gold-and-enamel foot, rim, and handle. The background of the plaque is dark enamel; the frame is creamy white enamel with a band of sparkling diamonds on each side. The central decoration is raised rather high above the gold, vertically-ribbed top. Centered at the top and bottom edges, a notched roof-like shape protrudes into the frame, pointing toward the plaque. A square diamond glints against the smooth black enamel in each shape. The sides of the case are decorated with a crisp design in black enamel on gold, like hexagons nestled together with dots in each. A rectangular thumbpiece protrudes from the right side.
