A highly decorative vintage Ravalgaon round lithographed tin box, featuring a beautifully illustrated female archer set against a lush woodland landscape.
The lid carries a striking period illustration of an elegantly dressed huntress drawing a bow and arrow, surrounded by trees, foliage and distant deer. The rich combination of deep blue, green, orange and yellow gives the tin a wonderfully nostalgic graphic quality characteristic of vintage Indian commercial packaging.
Around the body, the original “Ravalgaon” name remains clearly visible alongside a continuous landscape and deer motif, making this piece particularly appealing to collectors of Indian advertising tins, confectionery memorabilia and vintage graphic design.

Description
This charming old Ravalgaon advertising tin combines functional packaging with beautifully executed period artwork. The circular lid is dominated by an unusual female archer scene, rendered in vivid colour against a green forest backdrop, while the body continues the outdoor theme with deer and landscape imagery.
Unlike modern printed packaging, early decorative tins were often designed to remain useful long after their original contents were consumed, which is why surviving examples have become attractive objects for collectors of vintage Indian commercial art and branded memorabilia.
Ravalgaon has deep roots in Indian confectionery history: The Ravalgaon Sugar Farm Limited was incorporated in 1933, and confectionery under the Ravalgaon name followed in the 1940s. �

Collector’s Note
The combination of original Ravalgaon branding, colourful lithographed artwork and unusual female archer imagery gives this tin considerably more decorative appeal than a plain commercial container.
The scratches, rubbed areas and losses to the printed surface should not be concealed in the listing—they form part of the genuine vintage character of the piece.
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.
