[Okura Touen Washi Paper Wrapping] Vineyard Wind Mug

A refreshing blue is reflected in the flowing relief, evoking the image of a vineyard swaying in the breeze. While the plain, unlined painting evokes everyday use, the elegant shape of the vessel, known as the "Janet Line," adds a touch of elegance to the dining table. The lush grape motif is considered auspicious, as it represents prosperity for descendants and business success. The solid blue expression is achieved using the same "Oka Dye" technique unique to Okura Pottery, as used for the Blue Rose. The "Oka Dye" technique involves painting a cobalt-based paint onto a fired white surface, then firing it again in a kiln at the world's highest temperature of approximately 1,460°C, allowing the paint to sink into the glaze, resulting in a unique, deep deep blue. This technique is particularly striking in Okura Pottery's world-renowned white porcelain. The paint blends into the glaze, resulting in a lustrous and smooth surface. It will last for years to come, ensuring reliable use. The piece is wrapped in washi paper. This is also a recommended gift. This high-quality, artistic tableware is a testament to Japanese culture and tradition, crafted with the pursuit of "whiteness, porcelain hardness, and smoothness." Since it does not contain gold, it is microwave-safe. [Size] Diameter: Approx. 8cm, Diameter: Approx. 10.5cm, Height: Approx. 8.5cm Full capacity: Approx. 310cc
