General Infomation |
| It
is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity to extend a warm
welcome to American people. This is the third Greater Arita Porcelain Trade Show, held in the U.S.A. Our five participating companies have produced truly handsome works, each with an emphasis on their own characteristics. Arita ware has earned a prestigious place in American porcelain world. In 1876, our works won the “Grand Prix” at the Philadelphia International Exhibition, which was held in honor of the American Centennial Year. Then, at the 1904 St. Louis International Exhibition, we again earned the first prize with a set of refined, five foot tall temple jars. One of the pair is now in Arita, and the other can be viewed at the Philadelphia Civic Center. In 1979, Arita entered into a “sister-city” contract with Meissen in Germany. Meissen is a leading area in European porcelain production and has produced works similar to Arita ware since early eighteenth century. Not only in America, but throughout the world, Arita ware represents brilliant tradition of ceramic arts and a technique of 400 years old. We would welcome any comments or suggestions about Arita ware. Please enjoy this Arita Porcelain Trade Show. |
