This is a vintage watercolor palette. It has been repainted with a protective layer of paint to prevent further rusting. Please note the painted surfaces behave differently than normal enamel so if you decide to put colors inside use a separate palette to mix on. Has some surface imperfections dents, scratches, and unevenness. Holds up to 16 half pans and has space for extra pans or travel brushes. There are two thumb rings on the back, a unique feature on older palettes. One of the hinges is broken but box opens and closes fine. Great size for travel and perfect for displaying! Any further restoration is up to you! Dont be afraid to ask questions thank you for looking!
