This pot has the kind of unforced good looks that photograph well from any angle. The bridge handle is handled with a light touch — present, not overdone. It holds 200cc, which is plenty for solo gongfu sessions.

The pot is purple clay that brews a softer, rounder cup than porcelain. Shaped around the shipiao idea, the design stays balanced and easy to handle. The unglazed clay and boiling water are old friends — just warm the pot first, as it should be. What I like: clay's fine grain gives the surface a smooth, almost silky feel. Spout angle is set for a natural wrist motion when pouring, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. The compact size means less water wasted warming the pot — the photos do not exaggerate. One detail worth noting: daily use is the whole point — this pot was made for it.

Your tea shelf has room for one more — make it this one. It is ready for its first steeping — the next hundred are yours to enjoy. Brew, rinse, repeat — the pot takes care of the rest.
