Why do you offer plastic and porcelain water bowls and flower plates?
Porcelain ware is superior to plastic ware in many ways when it comes to brush painting, however we carry both kinds because each material has its own distinct advantages. The weight of the porcelain ware makes it stable on your painting area and its more rounded edges help to shape your brush tips. Porcelain also resists stains, unlike plastic, which makes clean up a breeze and allows it to remain attractive despite regular use. Plastic ware is lightweight, durable and relatively inexpensive which makes it a convenient commodity for transport, say to and from class or on exciting painting expeditions.
