I collect vintage powder compacts and I have been trying, with no success, to research the marks on this compact by Coty, and also any information about the manufacturing process of the decoration.
I think it would have been made in France in about 1920? Thank you :)https://imgur.com/gallery/KJBKFJI

Thank you! My apologies - I misunderstood
the thread on attaching images. I thought I had to do them via a web sharing app so set up an Imgur account! I shall investigate how to embed them. I've posted pics here before so I should know how...

Hi,

Looking at the image of the mark with the rounded triangular frame shape with the prominent standard number 5 more to the left. It could be the Czechoslovakian domestic silver hallmark used 1929-1941 for silver 5th standard 800/000 fine silver. The core image the Slovak patriarchal cross over a three-hill landscape. (worn/damaged punch).

Technique die stamped; a thin sheet of silver is modeled & shaped die-stamped (using drop hammer/drop stamp).

Hi Peter, that's very helpful - thank you! I have now searched images of Czechoslavakian powder compacts from that era and they have very similar floral decoration so I am sure you are right with your suggestion. Your help is much appreciated :)
