Founded in 1919 by Okura Magobei and his son, Oakura Porcelain is a prestigious Japanese tableware maker known for producing high-quality artistic porcelain. Their unique techniques, such as "Okayama dyeing," "embossing," and "lacquer sprinkling," create distinguished pieces. They use the finest kaolin and fire their porcelain at 1460°C, achieving exceptional whiteness, hardness, and smooth texture. Their high quality and craftsmanship have earned them recognition and use by royalty and official residences.
This piece is a masterpiece created using the lacquer sprinkling technique. Lacquer is applied to the white base, and after drying, powdered overglaze is sprinkled and embedded into the lacquer layer with a cotton pad before being fired at high temperatures. The unique color of the overglaze creates a rich, deep expression.
