Dainty and feminine design on this vintage ladies round handkerchief. There is a delicate white on white polka dot design overall on the hankie. Bordering the round hankie are pink floral, perhaps dogwood flowers, intermingled with small pink and blue flowers. Matching small flowers are scattered in the center of the hankie. Measures about 13" across, pristine vintage condition.
According to the book Collecting Handkerchiefs,"perhaps the most unusual type of handkerchief is the round. Produced briefly in the 1940’s and into the 1950’s, the shape wasn’t very popular at the time. It is however, popular with present-day collectors who love to find these uniquely shaped hankies."
