Work on a waterproof box began many years ago, beginning with minor modifications to a chest and ending with the current version, which is guaranteed to prevent water from leaking inside, assuming proper care is taken.

The waterproof box is constructed along similar lines as the fireproof box, but without several of the layers, and without alchemical ingredients. Inside a padded leather skin, a ceramic box rests in a cradle of wood. The ceramic, of course, is completely watertight – it is the seam left between box and lid that caused the most trouble. This problem was conquered by adding a strip of rubber to the ceramic, which effectively seals the box against water. A waterproof box can hold one cubic foot of material, though larger ones can be made.
