– Tokko Kiln’s Profile
Established in 1865 in Arita, Saga Prefecture. In the early days, they were producing large-sized porcelain such as vases and charcoal braziers. During the post war period, they began focusing on tableware for fine Japanese cuisine and pioneered the commercial tableware market in Arita. While producing elegant and colorful tableware using high transfer technique, they are also working on creating new tableware that meets the demand of overseas top chefs.
