Precisely molded/turned pot with a very good filter and fast pourout. Makes an excellent cup of sencha as it was designed to, seems alright for black tea as well. Same pot would have cost me $68 plus shipping from a Japanese shop, so thanks to Teasource for the good deal. My unit did come with an obvious firing mark on the back and tiny chip on the bottom rim, but for bare clayware some imperfections are to be expected, and the pot was packed very well.
