Through the century, the fine porcelain ware became popular among European and Middle Eastern nobles. It is said that the value of Arita-yaki was the same as gold at that time. Arita-yaki is thin and light but harder than pottery, and very strong. Although many people see it as decorative art, it is perfectly alright to be used.
The characteristics of Arita-yaki are the smooth texture and the white base color which is creamy and clear at the same time.
