"Blue Rose (8011)" is a design that depicts a flexible branch extending from several roses.

"Blue Rose" expresses the beauty of lithe vines and roses overflowing with vitality through the mysterious colors created by the art of flame . pictorial pattern.

At a time when it was said that it was impossible to make blue roses bloom naturally, Okura Touen's "Blue Rose" designed that miracle.

It is a high-class artistic tableware that is backed by Japanese culture and tradition, made in pursuit of "whiteness of color, hardness of porcelain, and smoothness of skin".

In the Okazome technique, cobalt-based paint is painted on the white cloth that has been fired, and then fired again in the main kiln, which has the world's highest temperature of about 1460 degrees, and the paint is in the glaze. It is a technique that creates a deep navy blue expression with a unique depth .

It is also a technique that shines only because it is a white porcelain with the "white" of Okura Touen, which is proud of the world. Because the paint melts into the glaze surface, the surface is glossy and smooth. You can use it with peace of mind for a long time without changing.
