Okura Art China has many beautiful gold designs, such as Kataba Kinshoku, but the Crown Emboss requires a high level of skill, so it is about ¥10,000 more expensive than Kataba Kinshoku. Crown Emboss Technique - From the Okura Art China HP "The emboss technique that brings out the golden pattern. This involves carving the pattern into the soft molded fabric immediately after molding while rotating a roller, and then applying glaze only to that part and firing it. And then, the gold is further baked on, which is a very delicate and complex decorative technique. Because it requires a high degree of skill, it is a valuable skill heritage that only Okura Art China holds today." "The fine pattern of "Crown" speaks expressively. The gold rim, which stands out because of the beautiful whiteness of Okura Art China's white porcelain, adds elegance to the table. "Crown" was born around 1930 and is one of the designs that has been loved for a long time at Okura Art China, which was founded in 1919. It uses the "emboss" technique of Okura Art China, which is attracting attention as a rare technique in the world."
