"Blue Rose" expresses the beauty of the gracefully growing vines and vibrant roses through the mysterious colors created by the art of flame. This design has become synonymous with Okura Pottery, beloved since its creation in 1928. At a time when it was believed impossible to grow blue roses naturally, Okura Pottery's "Blue Rose" represented this miracle. Using Okura Pottery's unique "Oka Dye" technique, the delicate, blooming deep blue color blends seamlessly into the white porcelain, dazzling everyone with its stunning beauty. The "Oka Dyeing" technique involves painting a white piece with cobalt pigments after firing it first, then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1,460°C. This allows the pigment to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep, deep blue color. This technique shines especially with the world-renowned white porcelain of Okura Pottery. Because the pigment blends into the glaze, the surface is glossy and smooth. It will last for years to come, ensuring reliable use.
"Blue Rose (8011)" is available in a dinner pattern and a wide variety of other items. It also makes a great gift.
