The enamel on this vanity case, which stands on point, is deep blue in the style called guilloché. In the center is a large square lozenge, also on point, made of diamonds with a carved jadeite Buddha in the center. In each of the four corners there is scrollwork in black enamel topped by a round of carved jadeite with two pear shaped diamonds per round. Inside the case is a writing tablet, mirror, lipstick holder and pencil. Both the lipstick holder and pencil can be removed.
