This pot does not try to be everything; it tries to be one thing done well. The dark brown clay adds a bit of theater to an otherwise practical piece. It holds 300cc, which is plenty for small gatherings of two or three.

The body is purple clay that brews a softer, rounder cup than porcelain. In practice, the porous body breathes, which is why these pots improve with age. One detail worth noting: pour is quick and decisive, which matters for timed steepings. In practice, shoulder leaves room for leaves to swirl and expand. Look closely and daily use is the whole point — this pot was made for it. Keep it to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor — simple, and exactly right.

Keep it seasoned to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor. Keep it close to the kettle; it will earn the spot. One honest teapot beats three decorative ones.
