    Amazing gallery
    This is the place to go to if you want to see pottery produced by some of Korea's finest makers. Mrs Kim Mison is extremely knowledgeable being a potter herself and having been in the business for several decades. She is intimately familiar with the work of all the artists she represents and endlessly patient when discussing pottery with a layperson such as myself. Prices are fair and probably not a just reflection of all the effort, love and experience that goes into producing a flawless piece of celadon. I will certainly call again during my next trip to Seoul and leave a bit more space in my carry on luggage.

    Paradise of ceramics
    Really wonderful place! You can find all kinds of Korean artistic and artisan ceramics and the lady who runs the shop is really very kind and helpful, it was a wonderful experience! Very honest prices and, beyond buying and selling, a place to visit to get to know an important piece of Korean culture!

    A pottery that really appreciates their customers
    There some businesses which really go that extra mile to provide a memorable service. Went to Eden Pottery to buy a commemorative vase to celebrate son’s trip to Korea after 27 years. Have bought there previously. The service was simply amazing. Great prizing, quality product and you really felt like the proprietor appreciated you being there. If you want traditional Korean pottery from artisans it’s hard to go past this shop located in Itaewan, seoul.

The store is small but very charming. There are so many beautiful pieces of traditional Korean pottery for very honest prices. The lady working there speaks English and she was very nice and helpful, giving us more informations about how some of the potteries were made. They ship abroad, in case someone wants to buy some bigger pieces! Very very beautiful!

Excellent place to find nice pottery gifts. The lady was both kind and very honest. When I inquired about a particular item, she pointed out it was broken (i couldn’t see the glue). The shop fire not participate on the tax refund but when I asked about it she offered me 10% off straight away. In addition. for big pieces, the prices were better than in Insa-dong. I bought a nice gift for my brother that the shop shipped to France for me (I had to pay postage of course but it was very convenient.) She kindly emailed me with the tracking the next day. Highly recommend this shop!

This is one of my favorite places to go in Seoul. I probably stop in once a month to just look at all of the beautiful pieces and usually end up buying something beautiful. Miss Kim is a delight and always so helpful. It is a wonderful place for incredible gifts- for others and for yourself;) I cannot recommend this place enough! It's a gem!

Most wonderful array of Korean artisan pottery for sale representing 24 Korean artists. Many putting a modern touch to traditional Josean and Celadon era vases and tea sets etc. Not seen anything in the UK and certainly not at this price. Great value and a delightful owner Kim. She can ship larger items if needed but not cheap. Worth a visit if you want to pick up a more unusual and authentic momento of the country

We happened upon this shop walking through Itaewon. The pottery pieces range from small cute items to large art pieces. They have many many different artists and styles available. Very much worth a stop!

After living in Seoul for five years and being away for eight, I returned to Eden Pottery this past week. There is a beautiful selection of pottery here and the same woman is in the shop. I'm sorry but I should know her name. She is so pleasant and helpful.

The Korean handicrafts are displayed nicely. A lot of ceramic pieces. There's something for every budget. A perfect place to choose a local gift for someone or for yourself. Pricier than some other places but conveniently located. English OK. Accommodating staff.

We stopped here to have a brief look for something to gift my sister in law on our way back to the USA. The lady here was very sweet and spoke clear English. After we purchased a few items she wrapped them in a few layers of rice paper and stuffing, and made little rope bows. Very nice! I would highly recommend the stop if you enjoy art. The work here was more impressive than what I saw in the National Museum!

I read the few reviews, all gushing about this shop, and everything was spot on! The owner is a lovely, intelligent, funny, warm person. Just tell her what Korean figures interest you. Cranes? Turtles? Fish? Bamboo? Frogs? Tigers? Peonies? She has them all and more in figurines, dishes, bowls, vases, containers, mugs, works of art, all sizes all prices, and she can tell you what symbolizes long life, health, strength, wealth etc as well...can’t wait to come back! I picked up everything I needed for thank you gifts for those house sitting and pet sitting!

I bought several pieces from this shop between 2000-2011. Ms. Kim the owner acquires only top quality pottery from some of the best artists in Korea. The pieces I purchased have nearly tripled in value. She speaks excellent English and caters to customers whether they purchase or not. You should expect to pay a little more for her products, but you can be sure you are buying top quality merchandise that will appreciate in value with time. Miss Kim is very personable, kind and will even make you some tea if you want to sit and chat. She will also pack your pottery for shipping at little or no cost. Highly recommend you visit her shop in Itaewon, Seoul Korea.
