[Okura Porcelain Washi Paper Wrapping] Vineyard Breeze Mug

A refreshing blue is captured within the flowing relief. It evokes the image of a vineyard swaying in the breeze. The plain design without gold lines suggests everyday use, yet the elegant shape of the vessel, known as the "Janet Line," enriches the dining table. The design of abundantly ripening grapes is associated with prosperity and business success, and is considered auspicious. The all-blue expression uses the same Okura Art China "Okazome" technique as the Blue Rose. The "Okazome" technique involves painting with cobalt-based paint on a white clay body that has been fired once, and then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1460 degrees Celsius. This technique causes the paint to sink into the glaze, creating a unique, deep navy blue. This technique is particularly effective on Okura Art China's white porcelain, which boasts the world-renowned "white." Because the paint has melted into the glaze surface, the surface is glossy and smooth. You can use it with peace of mind for a long time without it changing. It comes wrapped in Japanese paper. This product is also recommended as a gift.

This is a high-quality art tableware piece, crafted with a focus on "whiteness of color, hardness of porcelain, and smoothness of surface," and backed by Japanese culture and tradition.

Since no gold is used, it can be used in the microwave.
