Clear glass, your choice of backing. The New Wave POSH Clear Glass Palette is a 9 x 12 inch sheet of tempered glass you can set over a grey card, a white sheet or a scrap of your canvas colour, so you always mix on the right tone. It never stains and wipes back to crystal clear.
Why Paint on Glass
Glass is the cleanest mixing surface there is. It never stains, never soaks up oil or water, and wipes back to new every time, so the colours you mix are the colours you get.
POSH palettes are tempered for strength and finished with seamed edges and custom corner guards, which protect the corners and stop the palette sliding on your table.

Using and Cleaning Your POSH Palette

Is a Glass Palette Safe? Glass and Scraper Safety
POSH palettes are real glass, so they deserve a little respect. Tempered glass is much stronger than ordinary glass, and if it ever does break it crumbles into small blunt pieces rather than long sharp shards. It is still heavy, and razor scrapers are sharp, so a few simple habits keep you safe.
Lifting and storing
- Carry it with two hands. The larger sizes are heavy. Hold it flat and keep it off the edge of the table.
- Store it flat or upright and supported. Do not stack heavy tools or easels on top of it, and do not lean it where it can slide over.
Cleaning with a scraper
- Scrape away from your body. Use a single edge razor blade in a retractable scraper and push away from your hands.
- Use a fresh blade. A blunt or burred steel blade can scratch the glass. A plastic razor blade with solvent avoids scratching.
- Retract the blade when you finish. Keep scrapers and blades out of reach of children.
Kids and pets
- Adult use. Supervise children around the palette and the scraper, and keep both out of reach when not in use.
Questions About the POSH Clear Glass Palette 9 x 12 inch
What size is it?
9 x 12 inch, which is 22.9 x 30.5cm. The glass is 1/8 inch (about 3mm) thick tempered glass with seamed edges and corner guards.
Why choose a clear glass palette?
Clear glass lets you choose what is underneath. Slide a grey card, a white sheet or a toned ground colour under the glass to match your canvas, or put a reference image under it for monoprinting and tracing.
What paints can I use on it?
All of them. Oils, acrylics, gouache, watercolour and inks all work, and nothing stains or soaks into glass. It also works as a mulling surface for making your own paint and as a plate for monoprinting.
Will it fit my Masterson or Sta-Wet box?
The 9 x 12 inch and 12 x 16 inch POSH palettes are made to fit Masterson Art Palette Seal and Sta-Wet palette storage boxes, so you can keep oils fresh between sessions. The 16 x 20 inch size is a table top palette.
Is a glass palette safe to use?
Yes, with sensible care. POSH palettes are tempered glass, which is much stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. Lift it with two hands, scrape away from your body with a fresh blade, and keep the scraper away from children.
Will a razor blade scratch the glass?
A fresh blade held flat should not. Old steel blades can have burrs that scratch, so change blades often, or use a plastic razor blade with solvent if you want zero risk of scratches.
