Anotations

Scope note:

Style of ceramics, first manufactured in the early 17th century, and so named for the distinctive type of clay found in the Arita region. Styles vary from early unglazed blue and white porcelain to colorful enamel ware perfected in the 1640s. Arita ware was produced in large quantities in the 17th century and mass-produced by the Meiji period (1868-1912).
