Arita Ware
Arita porcelain originates from an area known as Arita on the Island of Kyushu, Japan. It is known as the birthplace of fine Japanese porcelain, and the artisans of Arita have produced exceptional ceramic works for more than 400 years. The beautiful contrast between the porcelain and the hand-painting is obtained by using exceptionally high-quality porcelain stone, allowing the glazed surface to display a distinct glossy mirror with a rich ivory luster.
Tokko Kiln
Tokko Kiln began creating their iconic Arita ware fine porcelain in 1865 and continues handcrafting stunning pieces to this day. Astonishingly, Tokko Kiln has yet to extinguish their kiln's fire since they first began over 150 years ago, and they still follow the same time-honored traditions in their handcrafting techniques. They are most well-known for their unique transfer methods, creating high-quality patterned pieces with gold or silver glazing. In recent years, Tokko Kiln has begun creating high-quality, hand-thrown earthenware in response to customers' demands.
