Individual Boxes
During the time that I have been collecting pottery produced by Mudlen End Studio, I have purchased a number of cottages that came with their original packaging, as shown on this page. These individual boxes correspond to the early period when the pottery was based in Felsham.
The photo below shows the different faces of the packaging for cottage number 22. Three of the faces carry outline drawings for cottage numbers 1 to 36 in the Numbered Series.

I have two examples of cottage Number 22 (Terrace of cottages) in the Numbered Series with its original Mudlen End box. the first example is finished in a red finish:
The second example of cottage number 22 is finished in grey:
All of these boxes had been unpacked before I acquired, but they still contain green tissue paper that was evidently used to protect the cottages when packed.
Notes
Models with their original packaging are very difficult to find [Scarce]. You might also like to view the page showing examples of English Country Cottages Sets.
