Instructions, mat, glue, & paint brush (few bristles of any length now remain). Vivid and fresh-looking colourful card sleeve for the paints. All paints are unused of course. Little white plastic tray is very nice and has survived well (always vulnerable). Small edge nick.

The large outer box is clean, very fresh and bright with a complete vivid paper label. Box is sturdy and well-coloured, showing minimal handling and certainly no tears or repairs. Minor storage corner crumple and lightest wear. Couple of little stains on the box base underside.
Very rare to find in this state.
