Yukiko Saito, Tokyo, Japan.
We first got acquainted with Yukiko's items when we chanced upon them in at an exhibition in Taipei! As a ceramic artist who also brews tea, she makes teaware that are practical for tea brewing. We love this simple katakuchi for its muted texture and its simple form!
The glazed nature of this katakuchi suits it to for all types of teas. Yukiko especially recommends this glaze + clay combo series of teaware for Wuyi Mountains Yancha (Rock Teas).

Glazed interiorly and exteriorly with metallic glaze.
Reduction fired in the electric-gas hybrid kiln at 1250 degrees celcius.
