Time travel with these vintage watercolors that come from the 1930s pre-war Poland! For full story, read the second slide :). Sorry for the blacked out color --I need to take photos of the current assortment of colours but didn't want to take the listing down.
This is a set of 18 original 1930s vintage watercolours, the full range.
Each set comes in its own box, with a sheet of watercolor paper for swatching and a 20x20cm repurposed tissue for dabbing your brush on. Each cake comes in its own tin with a magnet on bottom.
Each set is hand picked, cleaned and packaged by me and a member of my crew.
Here's a small video I made talking about them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZBcSnAtK60
This is a unique and limited gift perfect for an artist or anyone in love with items from times long past.
The 19 colours in the set are:
* Bonfire - warm red
* Path - warm brown
* Bark - cool brown
* Murk - black
* Fairy - opera pink warm
* Petal - medium violet
* Storm - dark blue warm
* Forest - dark green cool
* Meadow - medium green cool
* Haze - light green warm
* Twig - medium green warm
* Night - dark blue
* Fox - light orange
* Bog - light warm brown
* Rose - purplish red
* Barbie - neon pink warm
* Lavender - medium violet cool
* Daybreak - medium violet warm
All official information about the contents of these paints is lost to time, but they're most likely dye-based. They are not professional grade and due to their age and storing conditions for the past 80 years, some may appear a bit greyed on the surface, even though I clean each cake before I put it in the box. It's the dust of history! :) It comes off with the first use of water, so you don't need to worry if yours look a bit dirty to begin with. Some have specks of different colours mixed in and in some, grains of chalk can be found inside. They are still completely useable and one of a kind!
Please note this is a true vintage item and some variation and imperfection is possible and adds to its nature.

What a special treat for a watercolorist. Painting with paints made in 1930 and still bright and beautiful. They are packaged in a small tin and have magnetic backs to keep them organized. What a great gift. Thank you!
