This is a set of Arita-yaki (有田焼) porcelain bowls, each beautifully crafted in a square shape (四角) with an elegant wave-patterned (波紋) surface and a delicate camellia (椿) flower motif. The bowls feature soft blue and white tones with a touch of yellow in the flower centers, exuding a calm and refined aesthetic. The gently scalloped edges and glossy glaze highlight the fine craftsmanship typical of Arita porcelain.
Arita-yaki (有田焼) refers to high-quality Japanese porcelain produced in the town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu. It is one of Japan’s most renowned ceramics, with a history dating back over 400 years to the early 17th century. Arita ware was the first porcelain made in Japan and became highly prized both domestically and internationally for its delicate artistry, translucent white body, and vibrant hand-painted designs. Traditional motifs often include flowers, nature scenes, and geometric patterns, combined with exceptional attention to detail and balance.
These bowls embody the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of Arita-yaki, making them suitable for both everyday use and elegant table presentations. They also serve as a fine example of Japanese ceramic artistry — blending tradition, function, and aesthetic harmony.
