Karatsu tableware (唐津焼) is a style of japanese pottery traditionally produced in and around karatsu, saga prefecture. Karatsu has been a hub of foreign trade since ancient times and a center of pottery production since the azuchi-momoyama period. It is believed that the techniques used in the creation of karatsu items were imported from the korean peninsula during the japanese invasions of korea in the late sixteenth century, although some theories suggest that the techniques could have been used before this period. Karatsu items were originally created for everyday items such as tableware, pitchers, and other household items. The style is considered a good example of wabi-sabi aesthetics, and karatsu bowls, plates and other utensils are often used in tea ceremonies.

The smallest is 8 cm tall and 6 cm at the base.
