This rugged yet delicate Shiboridashi uses Mr's Hong signature glaze layers of Shino with a sprinkle of ash and soda. The crackled green glaze contrasts beautifully with the red hues of the shino glaze. The stoneware body retains more heat and this piece of shiboridashi is slightly more suited for more oxidised teas, but may still work for lighter oolongs and white teas as its wide opening does help to reduce the effect of heat retention to some extent. A shiboridashi is a comparatively more casual equipment for tea brewing, which makes this pretty little piece perfect for brewers who are intimidated by the more 'serious', teapots and gaiwans.
