The product arrived in perfect condition. I bought watercolors in W & N Cotman pickup elsewhere and I think you are also original. For those who are first-timers buying them, I leave them a photo so they can see that they are very small pills. For the price they are ideal to last for a while. If you want something more durable, better look at the options of large pills or tube. I liked that they come with two gift brushes, one of water and the other is Chinese brand and when using it I thought it was of very good quality.
