✦ About Nabeshima & Arita Ware

Nabeshima ware is the pinnacle of Arita porcelain — produced from the 17th century exclusively for the feudal lords of the Nabeshima domain in Saga Prefecture. Known for flawless execution, precise coloring, and elegant motifs, Nabeshima pieces were never sold commercially and were considered too fine for ordinary use. Today, Miyake Kiln carries on this extraordinary tradition.
