About Arita porcelain

Arita porcelain pieces are known for their timeless elegance and subtle designs. They typically feature a white or slightly bluish glaze and are adorned with delicate patterns such as flowers, leaves, or landscapes. Arita porcelain stands out for its refined beauty and translucent finish.

The town of Arita, in Saga prefecture, Japan, is the cradle of Japanese porcelain. At the beginning of the 17th century, a Korean artisan named Ri Sampei settled in the area. Thanks to his mastery of high-temperature kilns and the proximity of kaolin deposits, Ri Sampei was able to produce porcelain of similar quality to that of the Chinese, thus ending their seven-century monopoly. Arita porcelain became very popular in the 18th century, when it was widely exported to Europe, contributing significantly to the prosperity of the Saga region.
