Okura Art Pottery x BONGEN PREMIUM Cup & Saucer - A fusion of Japanese beauty and coffee culture -

A special collaboration between BONGEN COFFEE and Okura Touen, a leading Japanese manufacturer of the finest artistic tableware, which has been in business for over 100 years.
The cup exudes tradition and elegance, and is decorated with BONGEN's registered bonsai logo in gold, creating a quiet beauty.

The body color is a deep blue called "lapis lazuli," which is considered a sacred color.
The color, which gives a sense of depth despite its transparency, is reminiscent of the fantastical depths of the ocean, making the time spent savoring a cup of coffee in silence a special one.

Each item is carefully gift wrapped.
It's a great treat for yourself or a great gift for someone special.

About Okura Art Pottery

Founded in 1919 by father and son Magobei and Kazuchika Okura, the company was established under the philosophy of "the best of the best," and has since become one of Japan's leading manufacturers of hard porcelain with a high level of artistic value.
It is known for its beautiful white, porcelain hardness, and smooth texture, and is used by the Imperial Family, guest houses, and first-class hotels.
In addition to traditional techniques, we are constantly striving to innovate, and continue to evolve.

Okura Pottery's white porcelain

Okura Touen has perfected outstanding techniques to create the perfect beauty of white porcelain, pursuing "whiteness of color, hardness of porcelain, and smoothness of surface." The base material is made from the finest kaolin, and the product is fired at a high temperature of 1,460 degrees, unparalleled anywhere in the world. All of Okura Touen's white porcelain products have been made using the same base blend and firing temperature since the company was founded.

Okura Art Plant's Lapis Lazuli

The process of applying cobalt pigment evenly onto the white clay and firing it in a kiln is the same as that of Okazome dyeing. The cobalt pigment blends evenly into the glazed surface of the white clay, creating a lustrous deep navy blue color. A unique and beautiful bleeding occurs at the boundary between the lapis lazuli and the white porcelain.

Gold from Okura Pottery

At Okura Touen, we use high-purity gold, almost as pure as 24k gold, for all our gold-decorated products. This gives them an elegant shine. The gold on the edges and handles is applied by hand by artisans with a brush, one by one.
