What is Arita ware?

Arita ware is Japanese porcelain made in and around Arita, Saga Prefecture. The name covers a wide range of styles, from traditional blue-and-white designs to richly painted and contemporary pieces, united by the region's long porcelain-making tradition.

Why is Arita porcelain special?

Arita porcelain combines technical precision with a long tradition of decorative craftsmanship. Its fine, hard porcelain body allows for crisp forms and detailed decoration, while generations of specialist makers have developed distinctive glazing, painting and firing techniques.

Where is Arita ware made?

Arita ware is made in the town of Arita and the surrounding ceramic region of Saga Prefecture on Kyushu, in southern Japan. The area remains closely associated with porcelain production more than four centuries after the craft first developed there.

How is Arita porcelain different from other Japanese ceramics?

Arita ware is porcelain rather than stoneware or earthenware. Compared with many Japanese ceramic traditions, it tends to have a finer, lighter and more refined body, often with a bright white surface that provides an ideal base for detailed painted decoration.
