What is Arita Ware ?
Arita ware refers to porcelain produced in Arita Town and the surrounding areas of Saga Prefecture, Japan. Unlike earthenware, Arita ware is made from porcelain stone, fired at temperatures exceeding 1,300°C for over 17 hours.
This high-temperature process results in porcelain that is both remarkably smooth and extremely durable.
In the past, Arita ware was cherished by nobles and dignitaries. Today, its durability and refined finish make it equally well-suited for everyday use.

Thoughtfully Handcrafted Tableware for Everyday Use SOUTA Kiln creates Arita ware that seamlessly fits into modern life, with a focus on usability and warmth only handmade pieces can offer. Each piece is carefully crafted with fine adjustments: the rim is made thin for a pleasant mouthfeel, while the base is slightly thicker to ensure a stable grip. These subtle variations in thickness and texture—impossible to replicate by machine—are what make the vessel feel so natural and comfortable in the hand. |
