RARE Vintage Winsor Newton, Heavyweight Enamelled Box, Water Container, 12 Pans

  
A stunning, in almost perfect condition, RARE Vintage Artists Water Colour Heavyweight metal Enamelled Box. Contains 12 Half Pans and integral Water Container (solid brass screw top) with removable water tray. Made In England - before the factory moved overseas and the manufacturing quality reduced. This makes this set very special.

Some colours may also be discontinued - another desirable rarity factor. The quality of the pans themselves exceed modern quality as they were made to the highest standard in the old UK factory.

This beautiful object would be ideal as a gift for a loved one, for yourself or as a collectors piece. Absolutely lovely, and very satisfying to handle, this compact set folds out to reveal a mixing tray on one side and a detachable water container that fits cleverly to the side of the box while using, and also acts as a lid to keep it all tightly contained when not in use. I cannot emphasise enough the rarity and quality of this object, and that it comes within its original box and original colour chart just makes this set all the more special.

Please note that this item is old and therefore the original cardboard box does show some wear, but overall is in good condition. It is just amazing that it still has its original box.

There are small markings on the enamel where the water container lid fits and also inside the water lid where the brass bottle top touches the inside when the lid is fitted for storage.
