This is a Japanese Arita-yaki (Arita ware) food container set (microwave oven is OK!).
Arita-yaki, also known as Imari is Japanese porcelain wares made in Arita, Saga prefecture.
The history starts in early 17th century.
Through the century, the fine porcelain ware became popular in European and Middle Eastern nobles.
It is said that the value of Arita-yaki was the same as gold at that time.
Arita-yaki is thin and light but it’s harder than pottery and very strong.
Although many people see it as decorative art, it’s perfect to be used.
The characteristics of Arita-yaki are the smooth texture and the white base color which is creamy and clear at the same time.
Because a lot of works and time were put in each Arita-yaki, they are so beautiful and valuable.
Made in JAPAN!!!
This is JAPAN Style!

I really like the way these Food Storage Containers look as far as the designs on the sides. What I really like is the covers you can put up top to secure it from the elements and make the food fresher for longer periods of time. That’s the way glass, plastic (and in this case porcelain) containers that are of high quality can do to leftovers.
Thank you for your comment. The design is surely very beautiful. It’s one of the high-class ones. Using beautiful designed things makes life happier, isn’t it?
