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 is particularly striking when crafted with Okura Pottery's world-renowned white porcelain. Because the pigment blends into the glaze, the surface is lustrous and smooth. It will last for years to come, ensuring reliable use.

"Blue Rose (8211)" is available in a variety of designs, including dinner patterns, offering a wide variety of variations. It also makes a great gift.
