If you are looking for a handmade teapot that will no question feel amazing in clay, craftsmanship, and pour.... ...get a Spring Peach. (that's one of these) I know that many times it can not only be scary buying art without holding it in person but also in the tea world it can be confusing. "What justifies price...?" It takes time to sit with pots and learn what makes a pot "good". If you don't know what makes a good handmade pot, these pots will be great teachers. If you already know what's up, these will be ever satisfying pots to pick up. The flow and feel of these still make me smirk when I pick them up even after almost 10 years of always brewing tea. The clay feels smooth, the ball filter makes for buttery pours, the clay paintings look and feel fantastic like the gentle touch of a tattoo, and then the red on black(for those that have seals) just look gorgeous. For those of you who have been told Jianshui only makes low quality or you should buy the cheapest Jianshui pots, I challenge you, try one of these pots, and see if you can hold that belief anymore.
