This an excellent palette for small-scale studio work – either as a main palette for a temporary set of colours or as a supplement to a larger palette. I like that the wells are an adequate size but it's surprisingly compact for the amount of paint it holds and the interior of the lid makes a very useful mixing area. Being porcelain, there's no beading as can happen with plastic or enamel. The only downsides: it doesn't seal (although cling wrap might solve that problem) and it's not something that would be convenient for travel or fieldwork. Would definitely buy again and recommend to others.
