Dynastic China Palette

Description

Honor centuries of imperial artistry with our Dynastic China Palette, a collection of 12 half pans of handmade watercolor showcasing pigments used in ancient Chinese painting, calligraphy, and decorative arts. This palette is housed in a sleek black metal tin and features historically rooted colors crafted from natural minerals, resins, and botanical lake pigments.

Each pan is carefully mulled by hand and poured in small batches using traditional techniques and all-natural ingredients of honey and a small amount of gum arabic. These colors show the vivid beauty of palace murals, scroll paintings, porcelain glazes, and silk banners, drawing directly from the materials once treasured by court painters and scholars. Whether you’re creating delicate washes or bold, expressive brushwork, this palette captures the richness and harmony of classical Chinese aesthetics.
