Abstract: A paint brush storage device comprising a vessel whose top portion is circular and whose bottom portion tapers inwardly on two sides to conform to the rectangular cross section of a conventional house painting brush. A removable and replaceable water tight closure secures to the top portion of the vessel by mating male and female threads. An integral hook emanates from the top edge of the closure cap and a gasket is located between the interior of the closure cap and an upper lip of the vessel. A preferred embodiment further comprises a separate base plate having peripheral holding tabs capable of receiving the bottom portion of the paint brush storage vessel in an upright position. A flexible clip is affixed to the outside wall of the vessel so that the storage device may be attached to a belt. A further alternate embodiment includes a base plate integral with the bottom portion of the vessel.
