Nabeshima ware is a type of porcelain crafted at the meticulously managed Nabeshima domain kiln. This kiln, operating as a government-run project under the direct supervision of the Saga Nabeshima domain, flourished during the early Edo period (1603–1868 CE).

For approximately 250 years, Nabeshima ware was reserved solely for exclusively for shoguns and feudal lords, with the kilns producing exquisite pieces in styles like Iro-Nabeshima (overglaze enamel), Ai-Nabeshima (sometsuke), and Nabeshima Seiji (celadon). After the feudal system ended, the kilns were privatized, welcoming new potters and giving rise to what is now known as Imari Nabeshima ware.
