About:
Arita is the famous and ancient ceramics town located on Kyushu Island in Southern Japan.
It was in this town, in the year 1616, that the Koreans first introduced the art of porcelain pottery to Japan. 1616/ Arita is a contemporary porcelain brand with art direction by Japanese designer Teruhiro Yanagihara and Dutch designers Scholten & Baijings.
Teruhiro Yanagihara designed the Standard-Series and Scholten & Baijings developed the Colour Porcelain collection.
CMA is a newer collection from the brand 1616/ made by Danish designer Cecilie Manz.
The CMA product range is intended for both the Japanese and the European kitchen and includes assorted, stackable plates, dishes and bowls. The design is part severe, part soft, featuring flat, deep, low and tall pieces to create a complete collection. Arita is famous for its high-quality porcelain clay, with a remarkably pure whiteness. For this collection, two porcelain clays are used, the classic chalk-white porcelain and a raw, natural gray. The set is part glazed, part unglazed.
CMA Clay collection, Earth Grey is made from a mixed clay containing Amakusa pottery stone which has a large amount of iron deposits. Please note that due to the natural characteristics of this clay, the shape may be uneven and the glaze may vary slightly with natural burn marks and iron dots.
