This flat Shiboridashi teapot is crafted by ceramic artist and tea master Yukiko Saito of Shigetsu Kiln. It features a calm, ink-black tone close to true black, showcasing the rich texture and innate presence of the natural clay. The soft, fluid form shaped on a kick wheel—a signature of Ms. Saito’s work—creates a captivating contrast with the unglazed, matte surface.
The wide opening allows you to fully enjoy watching the tea leaves expand, while the deep ink-like color subtly brings out the vivid hues of the leaves. During warmer months, it is also lovely for cold-brewing with ice cubes resting on top. With use over time, the surface will gradually develop a rich, seasoned patina. Holding a practical capacity of around 110ml, it is ideal not only for Japanese sencha, but also for Chinese and Taiwanese teas. A matching piece in the same black series is also available.
