Blue & White Porcelain
Blue and white porcelain originated in the 14th century. Because it has remained popular for centuries it makes an idea gift that will likely remain popular for years more.
Arita blue and white Japanese dinnerware is made with a cobalt underglaze on a white or off white surface. Since the making of porcelain was a closely guarded secret in China it was not actually made in Japan until 300 years later. Due to the correct clay deposits being found around Arita, Japan it is here that Japanese blue and white porcelain is produced. Many of these same kilns still make porcelain today.
Imari wares are also made in Arita though they are named after the port of Imari from which they made there way to Europe. Because we have numerous sources you can find all types of Japanese porcelain here.
