Since its creation in 1928, this design has been loved to this day and is synonymous with Okura Art China. In an era when it was said to be impossible to make blue roses bloom naturally, Okura Art China's "Blue Rose" was designed to capture that miracle. Through Okura Art China's unique "Okazome" technique, the deep blue color blends into the white porcelain, and everyone is captivated by the beauty of the gently blooming deep blue. The "Okazome" technique involves painting on a pre-fired white clay body with cobalt-based paints, and then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1460 degrees Celsius. This process causes the paints to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep, indigo blue color. This technique is particularly effective on Okura Art China's world-renowned white porcelain. Because the paints are dissolved into the glaze, the surface is glossy and smooth. You can use it with confidence for a long time without it changing. "Blue Rose (8011)" is available in a variety of items in addition to the dinner pattern. It is also recommended as a gift.
