Shiboridashi teapot brown and white 250ml

Shiboridashi teapot brown and white 250ml

Original shiboridashi teapot handmade in Ninshu kiln in Kyoto. The kiln is connected with Ninnaji Temple - the world heritage and Japanese national treasure. Shiboridashi teapot does not have a strainer, but grooves at the spout. Shiboru means to squeeze in Japanese, as the small size of shiboridashi makes it perfect for brewing essential tea. The teapot has irregular shape and the glaze has different thickness in some parts of the vessel. This makes the teapot not very much precise, so some tealeaves may get to your teacup when you pour the tea. The vessel is classic Japanese wabi - sabi aesthetics.

The teapot is packed in an elegant paper box decorated with 16 petal chrysantemum - the symbol of imperial palace. Great idea for an elegant and original gift.
