Fruit Sampler - JP3438

$9.95

Returning to a basic palette, I used only Artist's Colors that form a color wheel, no premixed colors. The basic colors are so much fun and refreshing and I hope you enjoy them also.

Perfect for use a spice or tea box!   These are high quality Shaker Style Bentwood Boxes and not cheap, lightweight imports.  These shaker boxes are beautifully made of solid birch and we haven't had a nested set in decades.  The 7 small nested boxes are 3" in diameter and 1 1/2" tall.  The round bentwood is 9 3/4" in diameter and 2 1/4" tall.

The bundle includes the full nested set of bentwood boxes.
