Japan Blue Pearl Blue Japanese Tea Set

This set includes an Arita ware kyusu (teapot) and two teacups that are suitable for modern spaces. In addition to their design, the matte surface finish makes them non-slip, stable, and easy to use.

The molding process is called mizukote, in which the clay is placed in a plaster mold and rotated, and then the mold is formed by sliding the clay with water while applying a trowel. This method is mainly suited for forming circular shapes such as rice bowls, teacups, cups, and plates, and requires the skill of a craftsman.

Arita Porcelain Lab

The seventh generation Yazaemon describes his vision for Arita Porcelain Lab as "to modernize Arita Ware, the luxury Japanese porcelain culture, and to convey it to the world." Arita Porcelain Lab's tableware retains the aesthetic of "elegance" that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, and adds a stylish appearance to suit modern living spaces.

The colors of the tableware have been carefully selected, with new colors developed for traditional patterns and designs that freely combine traditional patterns to suit modern interiors.  They have developed the original glaze through countless prototypes.

Arita Porcelain Lab also designed perfume bottles made of Arita Ware at the request of Guerlain, a French perfume and cosmetics maker, and collaborated with Laduree, a famous confectionery store, to produce tea and Arita Ware. The company is also deepening its ties overseas, with its tableware being used in a restaurant in the Mandarin Hotel (Paris, France).

Crafted in the historic town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware stands as the most venerable porcelain production hub in the annals of Japanese history. Characterized by its ethereal translucent white porcelain adorned with vibrant paintings, it has profoundly influenced the porcelain craft across Europe.

Within Japan, Arita ware is held in high esteem as a prestigious brand, with the town of Arita acknowledged as a quintessential porcelain production area.
