FAQs

Arita porcelain originated in Hizen Province, Japan, in the early 17th century following the discovery of high-grade porcelain stone. It became a major export commodity for the Dutch East India Company through trading posts like Deshima, influencing European ceramic production.

These wares are crafted from finely refined kaolin-rich clay, hand-thrown or moulded, and painted with cobalt blue pigment under a transparent glaze before being fired in high-temperature wood or gas kilns.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic potting irregularities, iron-spot impurities in the body, cobalt blue tones that range from soft grey-blue to deep vibrant hues, and glaze characteristics consistent with 17th or 18th-century kiln output.

Antique plates can be mounted on walls as part of a curated display, exhibited within glass-fronted cabinets, or displayed upright on specialised stands to introduce historical depth and artisanal texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique porcelain should be hand-washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials and harsh chemicals, and kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
