@Kristy Rice, I have one like that from my grandmother. It was bought for her sister in 1914 in Karlsruhe, Germany at Christmas. It was from the local village store and the paints were mixed by the shop owner. It was for young ladies and they would have small painting parties on the lawn in the Spring and Summer. My grandmothers sister painted many watercolour paintings but most of them were lost when they escaped from Germany in 1919. My grandmother said the paints were made from natural pigments and some of which were also used in ladies “makeup” rouge, powders, lip tints etc. The art on the front was printed by the local printer. These were not mass produced in a factory. They were local from what we would call mom and pop shops. Which explains why you couldn’t locate info on them on line. I hope this helps some. I hope you treasure your fairly rare prize. #Artforjoysake

Sort of art historian here! This is my guess without seeing it person but the art on the tin looks very Edwardian to me (1901-1920). The reason the paint smells sweet is more than likely because it is honey based paint but bear in mind lead can have a sweet taste too. Either way make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handling. I wouldn't be surprised if this was made for sale in in an English speaking territory because on the English writing on the box. The only anomaly is the plastic on the brushes. I have my doubts that plastic would have been used that long ago, It just wasn't common. It may be that they were repaired or replaced at some point. This by the way is my guess. I can't see it up close and I'm not an antique dealer so take what I say with a pinch of salt.

Well the only thing I can think of is the sweet smells might come from honey. Also honey stored at the wrong temperature (say Arizona summer heat) turns a dark brown and has a sticky sweet smell, almost a cloying odor. (I worked for a pest control company, old hives are hard to get rid of in walls and ceilings) Honey does draw fungus. And old inactive fungus is brown. It also infiltrates thru the tops sides and bottom of things. Think cheese. Iron and other metals in the paint can rust, but but the box doesn’t show a lot of rust and they wouldn’t have made the box from brass. In any case please wear gloves, and a use a mask. Consider painting with them outside. An keep them away for other paints. Fungus loves new places to go. But by all means use them, enjoy them, they were made for this. The colors are beautiful and I love he painting.

But they are not going to deteriorate more over time, not unless they are introduced to something that will cause them to do so. I’ve seen in museums that still have some of the old school watercolor artist’s palettes still on display and they look just as the day they were last left on their painting desks! If reactivated today, they’d still work just as they did when they were last used hundreds of years ago (assuming that nothing out of the ordinary contaminated the paints over the years) because they are water soluble and that’s how they are meant to work! They cannot dry out any more, but even in a cracked and crumbly state, the paints still work just the same! The only thing that affects is how well they stay/don’t stay in their individual pans, that’s it. But I bought a post card from a picture of one of these palettes I saw in the museum years ago being thought it was really neat that it was still in the same condition. I still have that postcard tucked away somewhere and forget the name of the famous artist of who’s palette it was, but that always stuck with me that they were so well preserved over time and that’s why I always laugh when people ask if their old palette will still work…and by “old” what they usually mean is that it’s only a couple of years old. If anything, these much older palettes will preserve longer because they don’t contain all the extra crap we use today as fillers and they used heavy and toxic things (not all the time) in their paints back then so they should last longer. But honestly, I would not use paints from back then because of that last point as you don’t know what’s in any of them. Many artists back then mixed their own paints from scratch, which is really neat, but not so good since you don’t really know what’s in them. The only way to find out for sure, is to get them tested for any potential toxic components in them.

I vote for continuing to create beautiful art with it and plop that tin back up a shelf for decoration when you're done. That paint is SCREAMING to be used! I love the colors that have come from it.

Oh, wow!!! The most surprising thing for us was that what appeared to be Rose Madder, one of the most fugitive colors when exposed to light, was about the only one that maintained something like its original identity! Gum arabic, honey and oxgall can all be subject to change over time, and since most semi-moist cakes have a humectant (something to draw moisture), there was likely some activity in storage. That muted, subtle warm palette was so evocative of the antique past- we think your paintings really did this rare gem justice!

My oldest palette is a 1976 wooden Winsor and Newton box that I received new for my 16th birthday! Because of its size I didn’t use it much and so it still has a lot of the original paints, including a full set of full pan cadmium reds yellows and oranges (not used as I’m a bit prone to paintbrush licking so I avoid toxic colours!). Most of the remaining colours still appear the same as the current versions, except for the burnt Sienna which looks like it’s sourced from a very different earth pigment to the modern one-I much prefer it! I suspect the watercolour palette in your video had fugitive dye based colours in a watercolour base. Most traditional non fugitive artists pigments retain colour for decades or even centuries!

Lady, you really know how to have fun! What lovely, subtle paintings you made. I would say use the paint by all means. Just as an old instrument has no voice on a shelf, these paints deserve a life, and you can give it to them.

More to come!

For the 70ies palette: there's a German colour manufacturer named A. Liebtruth & Wieland (now Draw.tek) I think from Frankonia that existed since the 19th century. they make Angora paints and Finetek paints. I think they were originally located in Nuremberg, Franconia (just like Schwan-Stabilo and Faber-Castell). On their side they say Angora paint is tempera paint, but I think the modern paints look very similar to the classical Pelikan "Tuschkasten" (another old brand from Hanover, Lower-Saxony), which is concepted to be used in school to teach stuff like basic colour theory....We call them "Wasserfarben" (water colours) in Germany, but they are a bit more opaque and the pigments are not as finely milled compared to actual watercolours ("Aquarellfarben"). the design on the tin looks like Imperial empire (1871-1918) to me. I'm not sure how small the production was, because it must have been big enough to export the product...back then I think the supply for children's water colours probably were more local compared to our global market. the slogan "made in Germany" made me think that it was after 1887 because then it was used due to the British wanting to protect their local market from being flooded by German products so non-British products (especially German ones) had to be marked on the packaging. (kinda backfired on them especially in machines because those were actually good products). later during WW1 it was also used to mark products from war opponents. though maybe the box was made in America and only the paint are German? After the failed revolution in the 1840ies a lot of people from Germany expatriated to America and they might have wanted to get products they were familiar with and knew how to use so they could teach their children or grandchildren. though that I think of it Britain might be more likely. I've seen a similar palette on etsy that had an art shop in London on the tin, so maybe those tins were made custom in small batches for the respective shop. I think the pink looks like potter's pink. :)

I'm thinking by using that older palette is bringing it back to life and kind of preserving the vintage way it looks and feels. When ever I think of the earlier days as in antique style, I think of browns and pinks. Good Kristy! You did a wonderful job in bringing back a place in time of the past and I would keep using the palette if need be in the future for an antique or vintage style painting project! Yay!

If the set is that old the ferrules on the brushes are probably quill. I found a set of antique French brush tips from the 1910s which are in quill ferrules.Try the burn test (often used to determine if fabric is organic or synthetic) Take a small scraping of the broken one and hold to a match flame. If it turns to ash it is organic (quill) if it melts it is synthetic.

the first swatch made me laugh 🤣 "okay, some earth tones at first i guess, i wonder what the next- brown. okay maybe- brown. well they can't all- brown." truly an universal pallete, as long as you paint dirt (although obviously you made some wonderful florals and landscapes!)

Thank you for sharing your deep passion for old pallettes. By the style of the design on the lid, I would guess somewhere in the 1800s. It looks very Victorian. A toy historian might know about it. I think I would have been wearing a mask and gloves while painting with it. That first painting you did is exquisite. I was just introduced to Five Below in the past year. Good to know they have some decent watercolor paper.

I love the brown shades painting! And wow! The pinks on the Arches paper!!

You know, if it is that old, all those colors could be skin tones. But they are prob discolored or something. They used water colors primarily to color photographs and then films. And if that's the case, they would need to be completely transparent for the film. And I don't think that brush belongs in there. If it is old, it wouldn't have plastic on it. Unless it was repaired much later or something. I don't think plastic was in wide use until after the 50s. Either way, they are nice skin tones

Plastics came in use around the 20 -30s. Around that time potter’s pink became the first light fast pink of the era and that what it looks like. Burnt sienna and umber are true but the others just might not have held up to the lightfastness. There might have been an alizarin crimson but again might have had some lightfast issues and the same is true of vermillion etc. I enjoy studying older palettes and your ‘s really looks like late ish 1920’s. Pretty cool. Also originally I think as most of our palettes they were cross contaminated. Another thing is the Victorian style was still the in thing for other toys, dolls etc. older palettes are very common, I have some also and they were just as well loved as the ones we use these days.

Thanks Kristy! So fun and daring for you to try out this very old palette. There’s definitely some variation of colors there. And loving your artwork…the sepia vibe is great! I believe in the persistence of genuine and high quality pigments, so I’m thinking this palette wasn’t created with the best pigments bc of course, it was a kid’s palette. I was recalling watching “Fake or Fortune” an older BBC produced program about people who think they may have a painting by a very famous artist and they turn to the experts to find out. Wow…I’ve learned so much about art and art history by watching that show. But one thing that sticks in my mind about pigments is that quality pigments made from earth minerals last….I’m sure some more than others. The show’s hosts and experts often examine pigments and oil paints and use very high powered equipment to do so. One time I remember they showed some pigment powders in glass jars that some very famous painter (can’t recall the name now) used to make his oils with. The pigments might have dulled slightly, but the colors were still showing themselves some 100 or even more years later. The science of color is amazing!

Very cool!!

How exciting!!! My maternal great grandmother was German, but unfortunately she and my grandmother passed before I was born. This looks like the vintage of things left over from them. Absolutely love the painting!!
