By Yukiko Saito, Tokyo, Japan.
We like Yukiko's pieces for its understated beauty and functional brewing considerations. As a potter who practices Chinese Tea Ceremony, she creates pieces that are both easy to use, and reflects the calm spirit and clean aesthetics of the sort of Chinese Tea brewing that we admire!
This pot is fired in the 'Gohonde' method, which involves half the period of firing in reduction condition and half in oxidation conditions. The reduction firing results in the slight pinkish hue. Placement of the pots in the kiln is important to achieve the hue texture, thus Yukiko has to limit the number of pieces fired during the Gohonde process.
Yukiko has a special love for historical items, and thus her choice of peonies for this series of teaware. She likes the antique beauty of peonies, and this love for aged beauty is also reflected in the choice of Gohonde firing method, as well as the form of these cup and saucer sets, with the raised foot of the saucer. We like how this set of teacup and saucer feels like items from a bygone era.
