Shiboridashi Teapot

This shiboridashi teapot is named for the Japanese tradition of palm-sized teapots used for slow, concentrated tea infusions. As such, it’s perfect for gyokuro (green) or sencha tea drinking. Thrown from textured iron-rich clay, it’s brushed with white slip and finished in a thin matte glaze.

On his travels to Minnesota, Jonathan Wade felt connected to the folk art pottery reinterpretations of Japanese Mingei. Wheel-thrown into simple, hand-built forms, his low-impact, utilitarian tableware celebrate the impurities and irregularities of wild clay and wood ash glazes — which the founder personally collects himself. Every unique piece is designed to honour the rituals of cooking and eating.
