This is a plate from Okura Art China with a beautiful navy and gold design. List price: ¥16,500 Thank you for looking. "Ruri Kataha Kinshoku" (Lapis Lazuli Single Leaf Gold Etching) features a rim pattern where the spread branches and leaves are connected on one side, with lapis lazuli, known as the "color of kings" and "royal blue," adding elegance. This design, born around 1925, is one of the most enduringly popular designs from Okura Art China, founded in 1919. The single leaf pattern on the rim is created using the "Kinshoku" (gold etching) technique, where a raised pattern is adorned with gold, creating a complex and radiant, yet substantial and beautiful expression. Artisans meticulously create the raised pattern one by one using a sandblaster. The "Ruri" (lapis lazuli) technique involves applying cobalt-based paint evenly to the white clay body and firing it in a kiln. This allows the paint to uniformly melt into the glaze surface of the white clay, producing a lustrous, deep navy blue. A unique and beautiful lapis lazuli bleed is expressed at the border with the white porcelain. The beautifully raised gold etched pattern adds a touch of splendor to your table. This is an elegant vessel suitable for entertaining, which can be used regardless of the season. 04
