The image on this smartphone case might look like the rotary dial of an old-fashioned telephone, but it’s actually the enameled top of a powder compact made in the 1940s or ’50s. The idea for this whimsical piece may have come from a similar compact designed in 1935 by Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904–1989) for fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli (French, b. Italy, 1890–1973)...
