■Description:

• Handmade in the 1980s at Tsubaki kiln, a representative ceramic studio of *Seto Sometsuke(Blue & White).

• Seto Sometsuke(瀬戸染付):the color is created from the indigo color of Gosu(cobalt pigment) paint, and is based on the technique of finely drawing birds, flowers, insects, and landscapes on the surface of porcelain, as well as the firing technique to create glossy paintings. Seto Sometsuke ware is designated as a traditional Japanese craft.

• Also the item is painted with traditional technique called *Copperplate-printed transfer,that has been passed down to one of the few ceramic studios in Japan, making it a very rare and valuable item.

• Copperplate-printed transfer, which originated in Europe, was introduced to Japan around the end of the 19th century in Seto and the neighboring Mino region. Atechnique, the design is copperplate printed on Japanese Washi paper and the paper is stuck onto bisqueware and water applied to transfer the design. Each piece is transferred by hand and fired to create the pattern. Unlike items transferred by machine, it is possible to express hand-painted shading and detailed patterns. Even the same pattern can have its own individuality, such as uneven coloring and uneven painting.

• Seto ware(Setoyaki 瀬戸焼):The world's leading high-quality, white-fired pottery clay produces ceramics with beautiful glazes and paintings. It is a rare production area in Japan where both pottery and porcelain are fired.The porcelain is characterized by beautiful blue and white painting using a cobalt pigment called Gosu.
