It was actually designed by a French artisan, who registered the design and sold the production to Schiaparelli. The family of the man who designed it confirmed to me that he had never even heard of Dali or Surrealism. The actual one in the photo here is one which is not even by Schiaparelli as when the patent expired it was made all over world by compact makers, notably America up until the 1960s. They were sold as cheap novelty compacts advertised in back pages of ladie's magazines like House and Garden and Redbook.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176195676262064641noreply@blogger.com
