A Charming Piece of Vintage Indian Packaging & Advertising Art
Presenting a beautiful vintage Morton lithographed tin box, featuring a striking illustration of an Indian classical dancer in traditional costume.
The lid showcases a richly dressed dancer wearing a vibrant red blouse, deep blue costume, elaborate gold jewellery and traditional hair adornment, captured in a graceful dance pose. Set against a soft pink background, the bold MORTON branding adds a distinctive commercial-art character to the composition.
The combination of vivid colours, period typography and traditional Indian imagery makes this tin an appealing example of vintage decorative packaging.
Original Morton Branding
The MORTON name is prominently printed on the lid, while remnants of the original branding and decorative lettering are also visible along the side panels.
This surviving commercial presentation gives the piece strong nostalgic appeal and makes it especially interesting for collectors of vintage tins, advertising memorabilia and old Indian packaging.
Beautiful Lithographed Artwork
The dancer illustration is the highlight of the piece, with fine detailing visible in the jewellery, costume, hand gestures and facial expression.
The vibrant red, blue, gold and soft pink colour palette creates a highly decorative appearance, while the rectangular form with rounded corners gives the box a classic mid-century commercial design feel.
Authentic Vintage Patina
The tin retains visible signs of age and use, including surface scratches, rubbing, paint loss, edge wear, small marks and natural oxidation.
The interior also displays age-related surface wear consistent with an older utilitarian tin.
These imperfections are part of the piece’s genuine vintage character and add to its visual appeal as an original collectible rather than a modern reproduction.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
