Driftwood Shiboridashi | Handcrafted Steeping Vessel
Minimalist | Functional | Designed for mindful brewing
The shiboridashi — a simple, elegant vessel made for those who savor the art of slow tea. Its name comes from the Japaenese word shiboru, meaning “to press” or “to squeeze,” reflecting the care taken to draw out every nuance of flavor from the leaves.
Traditionally used for high-grade loose leaf, this vessel invites you to steep tea in small, concentrated infusions, producing a liquor that’s supple, aromatic, and rich with character.
The design is pure simplicity:
a flared, shallow bowl with a spout shaped by the potter’s hand, and a lid that rests on an interior lip behind the spout to help hold back the leaves as you serve. This hand crafted vessel was made so that you can learn to control the pour and capture the tea’s most delicate aromas.
Unlike a teapot, this vessel has no handle — just two little nubs on either side to help deflect the heat.
Perfect for:
High-grade loos leaf tea
Those who love precision, ritual, and connection in their tea practice
This piece is handmade, with natural variations in glaze and form that make it uniquely your own.
A tool for presence — simple, quiet, and endlessly expressive.
