Oralit from 1935 catalogue, Courtesy of Siegmar Geiselberger Powder and Trinket jars, sold separately or as part of a Trinket Set, have always been a popular item. Walther sold a large range of such jars. Most designs were sold in one of a number of forms: either plain or with a knob, a figure of a woman, a clown or a cat on the lid.

The female figure was of a seated naked woman made in frosted flint glass and about 5.5cm high. The female form was frequently used in pressed glass designs in the 20s and 30s.

Walther also produced a large number of ashtrays in Oralit. These are very rare and no examples are known to exist.

Only one complete trinket set appears to have been produced in Oralit. This is the 'Milton' which was shown in great detail in their 1934 catalogue. They also produced the 'Roland' trinket/drinks tray in Oralit. At least two examples in Violet Cloud are known to exist.
