Elevate your dining experience with the exquisite Yuki-hada Arita Lidded Bowl, a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship that seamlessly blends art and functionality. Imagine serving your favorite dishes in a bowl that tells a story of tradition, artistry, and culture, each meal transforming into a celebration of life.
Design & Appearance
This stunning bowl features a diameter of 6.2 inches (15.7 cm) and a height of 4.3 inches (10.8 cm), making it the perfect size for serving miso soup, rice, or nimono. The deep black glaze creates a striking contrast with the delicate snowflake-like crystalline pattern, achieved through the renowned “yuki-hada” technique.
Bold orange-brown motifs, reminiscent of stylized lotus roots, adorn the surface, meticulously painted in overglaze enamel. The smooth, glossy interior enhances the visual appeal and provides a luxurious feel, while the elegantly outlined dark brown rim adds a finishing touch of sophistication.
Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in the historic Arita region of Saga Prefecture, Japan, this lidded bowl embodies the finest qualities of Arita-yaki porcelain. The glossy, fine-grained porcelain exhibits a kaolin-rich body known for its durability and brilliance.
Unlike Mino ware, which leans towards earthy textures, Arita ware is celebrated for its smooth, luminous surfaces and high-fired enamel decoration. This bowl showcases the mastery of underglaze and overglaze techniques that define Arita’s rich pottery tradition, ensuring each piece is unique and of the highest quality.
Function and Use
The Yuki-hada Arita Lidded Bowl is not just a decorative piece; it is designed for everyday use. The lidded design preserves heat, allowing you to enjoy warm meals longer while showcasing the artistry of both the lid and body. Its symmetrical form, slightly flared lip, and raised foot provide both balance and ease of handling, making it an essential addition to your dining table.

The Signature Beauty of Arita Ware – Precision, Purity, and Painted Elegance
Arita Ware (有田焼) is celebrated for its refined porcelain body, flawless white surface, and intricate hand-painted designs. Early pieces featured indigo underglaze cobalt blue, while later innovations introduced vibrant overglaze enamels in red, green, and gold—creating richly layered, timeless motifs.
The porcelain is exceptionally thin yet durable, fired at high temperatures for a smooth, luminous finish. Traditional Arita pieces often showcase nature, landscapes, and geometric harmony, rooted in Japanese aesthetics with subtle Chinese and European influences.
From classical symmetry to bold contemporary forms, Arita ceramics are the epitome of technical mastery and artistic expression—designed to be admired, cherished, and used.
FAQs
All you need to know about Japanese Arita Ware.
What makes Arita Ware (有田焼) different from other Japanese ceramics?
Arita Ware is Japan’s first porcelain, known for its pure white clay body, high-temperature firing, and finely detailed painting. Unlike earthy stoneware like Bizen or Shigaraki, Arita porcelain is smooth, delicate, and often decorated with underglaze blue or overglaze polychrome enamels. It combines technical precision with elegant, often symmetrical designs.
Where is Arita Ware made?
Authentic Arita Ware is crafted in and around the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu. Nearby towns such as Imari and Ureshino also contribute to production. While some pieces are labeled "Imari Ware," the kiln origin remains Arita.
Is Arita Ware suitable for daily use or just for display?
Many Arita pieces are made for everyday use—teacups, plates, and sake sets—thanks to their durability and fine craftsmanship. Modern Arita artisans create tableware that blends beauty with functionality, making it perfect for both use and display.
Are Arita Ware pieces all hand-painted?
High-end and traditional Arita Ware is hand-painted by skilled artisans, often using brushes made from animal hair. However, some modern lines incorporate transfer printing to offer more accessible price points, while still maintaining artistic quality and local production.
How can I identify genuine Arita Ware?
Look for markings such as “有田焼” or stamps from well-known kilns in Arita. Genuine pieces typically come with a certificate or box identifying the studio. Purchase from trusted retailers such as My Japanese World who specialize in Japanese ceramics to ensure authenticity.
