A white vase, approximately 36cm tall, featuring a design of golden roses. Okura Art China, a leading Japanese porcelain manufacturer, has long served the Imperial Household Agency and its porcelain has been used in the State Guest House. It is renowned for the beauty of its white porcelain made with the finest materials, and its outstanding techniques have earned it worldwide fame. Gold etching is a decorative technique for ceramics. First, the design is masked onto the fired white porcelain. Next, fine sand is sprayed to abrade the surface, creating a relief of the motif. Gold is then applied and fired. The difference in the luster of the gold between the masked and abraded areas creates the pattern, making it a very luxurious technique. Okura Art China's gold etching "Rose" series is a popular, long-selling design that uses this technique. With a modern design featuring boldly arranged roses, it has been loved for over half a century since its debut in 1952. - Color: White - Design: Golden rose pattern - Height: Approximately 36cm - Manufacturer: OKURA - No original box (Will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a cardboard box)
