antique vintage artists paint, tiny glass vials powdered color pigments for china painting

Here's an interesting find if you're into painting, mixing colors, or just collecting antique glass bottles! It's tiny little glass tubes of powdered colors for mixing china paints, and a few other accessory 'ingredients', all in a very worn old cardboard case.

I have no idea if these colors would still be good, or even safe by today's standards. But they look safely contained in their tubes, and this makes a fascinating display piece, like something out of a living museum, untouched by time.
