The "Blue Rose" has been loved for over 90 years since its design was created in 1928. This new Blue Rose series combines the "Blue Rose" with "lapis lazuli" to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Blue Rose's creation and the 100th anniversary of Okura Art China's founding. The "Blue Rose," which expresses the beauty of gracefully growing vines and vibrant roses through the mystical colors created by the art of fire, has been loved since its design was created in 1928 and is a signature pattern of 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. The beauty of the deep blue that gently blooms, blended into the white porcelain using the "Okazome" technique, will amaze everyone. "Okazome" is a technique unique to Okura Art China. This technique involves painting with cobalt-based paints onto a pre-fired white porcelain base and then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1460 degrees Celsius. This process causes the paint to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep, and rich navy blue color. This technique truly shines on Okura Art China's world-renowned "white" porcelain. Because the paint is dissolved into the glaze, the surface is glossy and smooth, ensuring long-lasting and reliable use. It also complements the "Blue Rose (8011)" series, offering a wide variety of options. It's also recommended as a gift.
