"Blue Rose" expresses the beauty of the gracefully growing vines and vibrant roses through the mysterious colors created by the art of flame. It is a design that can be said to be synonymous with Okura Touen, beloved even today since its creation in 1928. At a time when it was believed that it was impossible to make blue roses bloom naturally, Okura Touen's "Blue Rose" represented this miracle. Using Okura Touen's unique "Oka Dye" technique, the rose blends into the white porcelain, and the beauty of the gently blooming deep blue is a sight to behold.
The "Oka Dye" technique involves painting a white piece of porcelain with cobalt pigments after firing, then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1,460 degrees, allowing the pigment to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep deep blue color. This technique stands out thanks to the white porcelain of Okura Pottery's world-renowned "white." Because the pigment blends into the glaze, the surface is glossy and smooth. You can use it with confidence, knowing it will last a long time.
"Blue Rose (8011)" is available in a variety of items, including dinner patterns. It is also recommended as a gift.
