My grandmother had an assortment of these old Jeanette glass body powder jars from the 40s and 50s.
Today the swan seems to be the most common at flea markets and antique shows.

I remember it! That was the kind of Christmas present you gave a woman or girl when you did not know what to get them. Or didn't have much money to spend on them. The stores would have a shelf full of them in various colors.
My grandmother would totally dust me off after my bubble bath! I have to admit it did smell good, just didn’t want to taste it.

When I read the thread's title, I immediately thought of the common gag on Milton Berle's Texaco Star Theater TV show, where any time Berle used the term "make up" in any form, a guy would run out with an enormous powder puff, and blast Berle in the face, leaving a cloud of powder, and Berle staggering around.
The variety show ran from the late 1940s to the mid 1950s, when it ran out of steam, and Jackie Gleason captured the attention of the TV audience. But Berle's show single-handedly was responsible for selling millions of TV sets as the medium became popular.

Oh, I remember that, probably got more powder on the floor instead of on me.

My grandma had a pink glass powder container with a big pink puff in it. It seemed so luxurious to get powdered with that after a bath and it smelled so good.
My mom didn't have the time or the inclination for stuff like that.

I have always loved powder puffs. Would you believe I actually bought from a perfume shop 2 pink powder puffs, but they are in plastic round bowls. They were only $3.00 each so I bought 2 of them, maybe I'll give one to a friend. I've always loved
Cashmere Bouquet Lavender powder so they go together well.
