"Blue Rose" expresses the beauty of gracefully growing vines and vibrant roses through the mysterious colors created by the art of flame. Since its creation in 1928, this design has become synonymous with Okura Pottery Art, and remains beloved to this day. At a time when it was believed impossible to produce blue roses naturally, Okura Pottery Art's "Blue Rose" represented this miracle. Using Okura Pottery Art's unique "Oka Dye" technique, the delicate, blooming deep blue blends seamlessly into the white porcelain, creating a stunning beauty.
The "Oka Dye" technique involves painting a cobalt-based paint onto a fired white surface, then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1,460°C, allowing the paint to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep deep blue. This technique shines especially brightly with the white porcelain of Okura Pottery's world-renowned "white." The pigment blends into the glaze, creating a lustrous, smooth surface. It will last for years to come, and you can use it with confidence, knowing it will remain unchanged.
"Blue Rose (8011)" is available in a dinner pattern and a wide variety of other items. It also makes a great gift.
