The box shows signs of it's age with a little damage to the enamel just below the hinge on the back and some pitting, but it's still in lovely condition for its age. All of my items are packaged with great care to ensure they get to you in the same condition they leave me. I'm now using eco-friendly packaging for all orders including biodegradable brown craft paper tape, biodegradable bubble wrap and void fill packing chips and, where possible, reused boxes. I'd love to be able to offer 100% eco-friendly packaging.
