This French compact is by Cheramy, circa 1920s, and measures 1". It is comprised of metal and what appears to be blue paint. The edge of the compact has "Cheramy Paris".
The history of Cheramy is long and interesting. Here is a link to an incredibly informative article: http://collectingvintagecompacts.blogspot.com/2011/05/cheramy-american-perfume-line-with.html
****CONDITION: There is a depression on the reverse (underside), most probably from repeated closure of the case. The overall condition of the metal compact presents with scratches and wear with paint loss to the blue border. Please examine the photos carefully and do let me know if you need more as I'll be happy to oblige.
Many think Cheramy is a French company when it is, in fact, American. Some of their products, like this one, were made for the French market. Cheramy’s Paris shop opened in 1926 at 308 Rue St Honoré with the distinctive Cheramy logo prominently displayed in the shop entrance.
Thank you for looking.
