This design involves applying transparent glaze or five-color glaze over silver leaf. It is characterized by a calm brilliance, a gentle shine, and a glass-like texture. Contrary to its dazzling appearance, it is a very elaborate technique that requires firing in the kiln one more time than usual. *It is not actually silver leaf. Because thin silver leaf would melt, this is an extremely luxurious technique that uses a layer about seven times thicker than silver leaf.

Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of colored porcelain and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, "Japan Kutani."
