What is a Shrink Pot?

A Shrink Pot is a traditional wooden container made from a limb or trunk of a tree. The wood is hollowed out whilst still green and a base is fitted to a little groove at the bottom.

As the pot dries the hollowed piece shrinks around the base. A lid is then fitted with a cork insert creating an air tight seal. Perfect for dry goods such as grains, teas and coffees.
