The new 19 cm diameter ceramic palette with 11 round grooves.
The main features that make this palette a very useful and valid tool for every artist and in particular for the iconographer are:
- The balanced size and round shape (not too big nor small)
- The handmade made in Italy
- The 11 deep round grooves
- The raised edge with 4 basins supports brushes
- A flat fin with 4 holes to insert brushes or to grip the palette with one hand
- The resistance of ceramic and its lightness
Everything, starting from the idea, the draft, the creation of the mold and finally the realization, firing and glazing are made in Italy. An excellent product that involves the local ceramic workers.
The round shape is certainly a touch of elegance, but it adds versatility to the palette which, being without corners, is the same in any position and can be rotated with ease. The size has a diameter of 19 cm + 2 cm of protrusion of the fin.
The 11 holes are spherical and with a good depth. This allows you to contain a good amount of color and also to be able to grind or break some lumps of pigment with a porcelain pestle. In addition, the availability of 11 holes, including a larger central one, favors the mixing of the various colors.
The edge of the palette is equipped with a rise that allows the brush to drip and in 4 points there are basins to lay the brush without it rolling away.
The flap that protrudes by about 2 cm has been designed with 4 holes of two different diameters to insert the handle of the brushes that are used during the painting phase. It is also useful for holding the palette with one hand if it is used suspended.
After use, the ceramic is easy to wash even if the colors are dry, it does not stain or soak.
