This is probably my favorite looking pot in my collection. Its around 125ml, purchased at Dream About Tea about a year and a half ago. When I first saw it it had to be mine. It is very pleasing to the eye. From the artistic shape to the little figure on the lid, and even the clay texture and color is just beautiful. The functionality is another story. The lid drips, it has a very very slow pour, and the lid heats up so much I cant hold it with my finger which makes it drip even more. So I don't ever use it. It is so nice looking though. I almost feel sorry for it as it should be brewing some good tea. I wanted to use it for aged sheng but It just wont cooperate. I guess it will just continue to just sit and look pretty.
