This vintage \u003cstrong\u003eclip-on lipstick mirror\u003c\/strong\u003e was made to wrap around a tube of lipstick, so a lady could flip up the mirror and touch up her lips anywhere. The top is a shield-shaped \u003cstrong\u003eporcelain plaque\u003c\/strong\u003e decorated with a courting scene: two ladies in pink and blue gowns and a gentleman playing a mandolin in a garden, all framed in \u003cstrong\u003egold-tone metal\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band on the back is the clip. It has an engraved geometric pattern and little star-shaped cutouts, it adjusts to fit, and it is hinged to the frame. Flip it open and the back of the plaque is a mirror.
