The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Arita porcelain refers to Japanese ceramic wares produced in and around the town of Arita in Hizen province. During the Meiji period (18681912), production expanded significantly to cater to international export markets, characteristically featuring refined overglaze enamels and detailed hand-painted designs.

These dishes are crafted from high-fired kaolin clay to create a durable, vitreous white porcelain body. Moulded into realistic aquatic forms, they are decorated with polychrome overglaze enamels and gold leaf highlights applied during secondary kilning.

Authentic pieces feature fine hand-painted details, subtle surface irregularities from hand-moulding, and kiln marks on the underside. Many export examples bear workshop or maker signatures, such as the marks of trading organisations like Hichozan Shinpo.

Display the piece on a easel stand on a sideboard top or mantelpiece to showcase its figural silhouette. Alternatively, mount it securely as part of a curated decorative plate wall or place it as a central accent on a low table.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a soft microfibre cloth with mild dish soap, avoiding abrasive pads or strong chemicals. Never submerge decorated enamel pieces for long periods or place them in a dishwasher, as this damages fragile overglaze gilding.
