This is the SCHMINCKE black metal palette with Akademie grade pans.

Well constructed from a decent lightweight metal with a matte black enamel external finish. There is a thumb ring at the bottom so you can hold the palette single handed and a closing mechanism that is reliable but not frustrating.

The tin opens to provide lots of mixing surface - 4 wells inside the lid and another 6 spaces on the mixing plate that folds out. Internal finish is white enamel which is ideal for mixing and cleans up well.

This tin holds 24 x half pans
