Schwabach
4"x3.5".5"

Twelve pieces of non-toxic hard pastels in a really sweet box. The circus really does make everything fun. I think the product speaks for itself. Anton Franz Mörtel founded his factory in 1870 and it is still owned by the Mörtel family. It began as a chalk factory outside of Nürnberg but then moved to Schwabach after WW II as their factory was destroyed during the war. They added industrial crayons and other dynamic products in the 60s; these pastels were created then. Pastels are the powdered pigment and a binder, the harder the pastel the more binder. We also offer oil pastels and chalk by this firm.
