According to archeological evidence, it is one of the earliest art forms in the world.
Fast forward to the present, and Kyocera revives this ancient tradition in Gyokuji using a totally new material, which represents a revolution in both art and technology, bringing fine ceramics into the 'New Stone Age.'
Inspired by the great history of Japanese ceramics, these luxurious and highly decorative pieces are considered true objects of art and collectors' items which showcase fine craftsmanship and the latest technological breakthroughs in materials science.
Gyokuji can maintain its brilliance for many years and just like a gemstone, its hardness is superior to that of conventional chinaware.
It is further enhanced by the beautiful designs of traditional Japanese art. It has a natural, pure gloss and the deep color of ruby red, sapphire blue or ivory.
This exceptional material possesses unique transmittance and jewel-like clarity which is further enhanced by the technique of mirror polishing. It is also ten times stronger than normal ceramics.
“It is our sincere hope that collectors will be delighted by this fusion of traditional arts and advanced technology in Gyokuji.
We believe this new fine ceramic art will open an important page in human history and be treasured by people throughout the world for years to come,” concludes Dr. Inamori.
View the exclusive Gyokuji Gemware collection on December11-15 at Stand 604, Hall 6, Jewellery Collections Dubai, Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
