It was made in a variety of designs, including solid colors and floral patterns, and was one of Okura Pottery's signature shapes at the time, being exhibited at expositions and exhibitions. The reproduced shape was created through repeated trial and error, taking into consideration a balance that is easy to use while maintaining the beauty of the shape. Compared to the 175cc capacity of Okura Pottery's standard coffee cup and saucer (model number 57C), this one has a capacity of 200cc, which will satisfy those who want to drink a little more. [Product Specifications] Material: Hard porcelain / Country of Origin: Japan / Size: [Cup] Diameter: Approx. 7cm, Length: Approx. 9.5cm, Height: Approx. 7cm, Full Capacity: Approx. 200ml / [Saucer] Diameter: Approx. 14.5cm, Height: Approx. 1.5cm The color "lapis lazuli" is considered a noble color in both the West and the East. It was even used in the ancient Shosoin treasures, brought over the Silk Road, and in the robes of the Virgin Mary. Okura Pottery's "lapis lazuli" uses cobalt pigment. This is a gift achieved by firing in a kiln at 1,460°C, the highest temperature in the world. Firing in this high-temperature kiln allows the cobalt pigment to blend evenly into the glaze surface of the white porcelain, creating a lustrous, deep, deep blue color. This technique is particularly striking when crafted with Okura Pottery's world-renowned white porcelain. Enjoy this exquisite piece, combining a deep lapis lazuli color with the brilliance of gold. It can be used in any season.
