Awata ware (粟田焼, Awata-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery that is a form of Kyō ware from Kyoto.[1]

It is related to other Kyō wares such as Mizoro ware and Kiyomizu ware, but denotes the kiln it originates from.[2]

The origin lies in the Awataguchi area of Kyoto.[3]

Awata kilns also produced Satsuma ware at one point.[4]
