a mighty fine choice

"My teapot weighs 167.2 grams and holds 150mL of water. The construction is solid - good alignment between the spout & handle, the teapot is perfectly centered, and although I'm not a fan of ball-style filters, this one does the job and is easy to clean. If I had to be critical, I'd say the lid opening is a bit narrow, making it a bit cumbersome to load large leaf material in & get it all back out. There's a depressed ridge on the interior of the pot (you can see this in the pics) which protrudes inward about 1/8 of an inch. The handle is also on the small side, and it's not like I have sausages for fingers either. For being my largest teapot, this has the smallest handle, and the overall shape isn't ideal. The handle of my teapot is slightly different than the one pictured - the shape and construction are close enough, but mine sits in a sleeve made of silver that is connected to the body. This sleeve extends out far enough so that you have to be really careful when hooking your finger through and lifting the pot up to pour out - if your finger brushes up against that sleeve mid-pour, you're gonna have a bad day. The knob on top gets hot AF. Holy cow. Whoever came up with this design clearly skipped the class on thermodynamics. ... and all that is okay, because this teapot is awesome anyways. It has an excellent pour, and the way it makes tea taste is well-worth dialing in the correct technique to make it work. It may require me to adopt a slightly different grip, or to not put my index finger over the knob on the lid, or other small tweaks here and there, but those are trivial in the larger context of the amazing enjoyment a teapot like this can bring with it. There's a lot of skilled craftsmanship involved in creating works of art like this, and I'm happy to be able to add something so wonderful - and permanent - to the collection. Well worth the cost of admission."

"Pot weighs in at 143.11 grams, wooden handle and bit on top included (not sure if the thing on the lid is a stone of some kind or just plastic). Water capacity is 150ml."

Beautiful and practical

"4.5/5 It looks impressive. The wooden handle helps maneuvering it (it gets hot). Easy to scratch the lid (it is mirror like, not like the rest of the teapot). The lid came with a few very tiny dents. The pour is nice however the lid can drip a bit if angled too steep when pouring (not through the hole but around the circle it fits in). Can’t use the hole in the lid like you can on a clay pot to stop the pour cause you’d get burned, it is not on the tip of the lid but on the flat surface of the lid. Makes a ..cheapish metallic sound when putting on or taking off the lid as the metal is not very thick. Still it feels somewhat sturdy. The silver thickness is at about 1mm. Somewhat sturdy - will not crack or break if dropped but will most likely get bumps easily. No seasoning will happen, can be used as an universal pot for all teas. Not sorry to have bought it, will not buy other pots again. Hope in time it will gain value as a piece of art.. Can’t tell much about the difference in taste, did not brew but one tea so far."
