Goldfish is one of the colour pencil brands Pakistani parents recognise without being told, and this is the jar version: a round tube with a yellow screw cap, wrapped in the Shahsons Goldfish label with the dragon and the row of sharpened pencils across the top. The tube keeps a set together in a way a card box never manages once the flap tears.

The detail worth noticing is on the pencils themselves. Each barrel has its colour name printed along it in English, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet and so on, rather than just being painted the right shade. For a child learning to read, or an early-primary class working in English, that turns a pencil case into incidental reading practice every time they pick a colour.

Two sizes are stocked. Twelve covers ordinary school colouring; twenty-four adds the mid-shades that let a drawing be shaded rather than filled in flat. The barrels are hexagonal and painted to match their leads, so nothing rolls off the desk and the right colour is easy to spot inside the tube.
