The Caspian sky
The Caspian Sky
(Semi - opaque) - Granulating red hue
The Caspian sky feels closer to the earth.
Along Iran’s northern edge, where forests meet sea and the air is heavy with mist, the sky shifts constantly — pale silver at dawn, washed blue at midday, soft with cloud and rain by evening. Light moves gently here, filtered through humidity and leaves, never harsh, always alive.
This sky watches over tea fields and rice paddies, over coastal towns and winding roads. It holds the scent of rain and salt, the hush before a storm, the calm that follows. Colours blur and soften, horizon melting into water, sky into land.
For centuries, this northern light has shaped the rhythm of life — slower, quieter, attuned to weather and season. It is a sky that invites reflection, a sky that lingers.
This collection draws from the Caspian’s shifting atmosphere — cool blues, greys, and soft greens — layered in watercolour to capture breath, space, and the gentle vastness of the north.
Our ceramic pans and paints: Each pan is carefully handcrafted using our signature, closely guarded binder recipe, formulated for smooth application, depth of pigment, and a velvety rich finish that can also be reactivated. Each ceramic pan is hand-made in our studio by us and fired by a local ceramic studio. Ceramic is used traditionally in watercolours to help avoid beading and allow the artist to see the blend on the ceramic palette. (Check our our ceramic palette range)
We only source the very best quality professional grade pigments that are a reputable artist grade, with the highest ASTM I- excellent rating. We don’t cut corners either unlike other makers. We use a ratio of 1:1 on our paints so you get stronger and longer lasting paints.
Please note: Most good binder recipes have clove oil included, but our binder recipe has a little more to ensure in years to come, that no mould will develop. This sometimes makes our paints smell a little stronger than others.
Pan size:
Each pan is approximately equivalent to half a standard pan to slightly over, as our ceramic pans are handmade. Please take this into consideration before purchasing—no two are ever exactly the same.
Imperfectly perfect:
Our paints and pans are entirely handmade. Small variations and imperfections are part of their nature and are embraced as a mark of true craftsmanship. They are a symbol of the care, time, and love poured into every piece we create.
A colour rooted in history, crafted by hand, and made to be lived with on paper.
