White glaze tea utensils by Yukiko Saito of Edagetsu Kiln are now in stock.
Yukiko Saito, ceramic artist and tea master, will be selling white glazed teaware from 11:00 a.m. (Japan time) on Saturday, 1/25. There are two types of shibori-dashi teapots: a plain teapot and a teapot with an arabesque peony carved on the lid.
