EasyouPorcelain Ceramic Palette Bone China Mixing Tray (Flower mixing palette 5.6"/14.5cm)

I'm new at watercolor and frankly couldn't understand what all the fuss over porcelain palettes was about. I decided to try this one when it caught my eye. The shape is interesting to look at and it seemed to offer better space than other small round porcelain palettes without being too large for my painting area (which is quite small) - and it didn't break the bank. Beside being attractive it is enjoyable to use - there is no beading up like on plastic (just like I had been told), and my colors are so clear and vibrant on it. I now understand the fuss. Cleanup is a breeze, but not necessary either, of course. I am now a convert to porcelain for mixing my colors. Will this travel well? Probably, but I haven't tried that so I didn't rate it. Certainly it's size would allow it to be stowed easily. And I didn't rate sturdiness. I would certainly buy another and probably will at some point.

Love this. The pictures are before and after cleaning. It cleans up incredibly well, as you would expect for porcelain. It is super convenient for pre-mixing colors so you're ready to paint without stopping to mix. Really a game changer for me and makes painting a little less tedious. Mine arrived in very good condition, well packaged. There are only a couple small dot-shaped imperfections in the glazing that allow pigment to stain, but it is really a minor issue and only on one segment of the pallette (you can barely see them in my photos). Overall this is VERY cheap for the quality. I've seen others in the $50-80 range. If you paint with wet media, don't hesitate to buy this.

I had this on my list for a while before I finally hit that add to cart button, and I should have bought it forever ago! It REALLY is a lot nicer than the plastic or metal palettes I've tried so far as mixing colors and cleaning up goes. I'm definitely the type to leave colors to dry on the very real chance that I'll reactivate and use them again, and because of this all my other palettes have some permanent stains on them, including the metal one, but the porcelain cleans up like it was never there! I have also purchased cheap porcelain plates, but having nice, big, deep wells to mix different colors in without them creeping towards each other makes the whole painting process a lot more relaxing. Plus the design is adorable! Would definitely recommend!

I love this pallet. It cleans up so nice. And is large. A little on the costly side but I like how sturdy and easy to clean it is. I like the daisy wells that allow you to mix colors and not worry about them getting mixed together.

This pallet isn't huge, but it gives me a big enough area to mix a vast array of shades and colors without taking up loads of space on my art table. It's very solid, easy to clean, and is a true white, which won't visually distort your colors.

I bought two of these, the 5" and the 8". They are gorgeous- packaged securely and arrived in perfect condition. They are white- not grey, and have a lovely smooth surface. I got the small one to use just for mixing, and the larger to actually put dabs of watercolor paint on the edges and mix in the middle. Cleanup is a dream. Highly recommend.

I love this palette! I paint with watercolors and this palette is perfect! I can put 2 colors in each petal area and still have mixing room. The large circle area gives you even more mixing space. The paints DO NOT bead up like it does on the plastic ones. Plastic is great for outdoor painting but porcelain is the way to go indoors.

I love this palette! The pure white is beautiful to look at. When I received it, I simply rinsed it with water and dried it. Right out of the gate there was no beading. No need to "season" the palette at all as there often is with plastic or metal palettes. Colors mix quickly and because of the white ceramic, you can easily see the paint color. I love having divided areas so that my colors don't blend unless I want them too. The palette cleans up completely with a rinse of water and followed by a wipe down with a paper towel or cloth. I have yet to see any staining. There is some weight to it, and it feels sturdy. It's a good medium size.It's not too big, nor is it too small. If one needed more room, they could simply purchase another. The price certainly isn't bad. This is probably not something you would want to travel with, but it is a beautiful palette to use when painting at home.The only reason I knocked off a star is that mine arrived chipped (see photo). It's not a deal breaker for me as I can live with the chip and don't feel it's worth the hassle of returning it. It was packaged fairly well (wrapped in bubble wrap, if I recall correctly), but it was somewhat loose in the box along with some other items. It might be a better idea in the future for the company to wrap the palette in bubble wrap and then place it in a snug heavy cardboard box. If I knew they were re-packaging, I would definitely order another as I can certainly use more than one.All in all, though, a great product. I vastly prefer ceramic or porcelain for palettes as opposed to plastic or metal (which are fine when painting on-the-go), and this little dish is a dream!
