HOLBEIN Porcelain Flower Palette 8.5cm

Holbein Porcelain Flower Palette (8.5 cm), also traditionally known in Japan as a "Umezara" or Plum Dish.

This porcelain palette is the gold standard for studio-based precision mixing.

Specification
Material: High-grade white glazed porcelain.
Diameter: 8.5 cm (approx. 3.3 inches)
Design: 7 compartments (6 outer "petals" and 1 central well).
Weight: Substantial enough to stay stationary on your desk without sliding.

Porcelain palette vs plastic palette
True Color Perception: The bright white glaze provides a neutral background, so the color you see in the well is exactly the color that will appear on your paper.

No Beading: Unlike plastic palettes where water tends to bead up (making it hard to see the wash consistency), porcelain allows the paint to spread smoothly.

Stain-Proof: Even high-staining colors like Phthalo Blue or Alizarin Crimson can be wiped away completely, leaving the palette looking brand new.

Longevity: It will not crack or yellow over time, making it a "buy it once for life" tool.

Uses
Detailed Illustrations: Perfect for holding small amounts of highly concentrated pigment.

Ink Work: Excellent for Japanese Sumi-e or calligraphy inks.
