My idea of “aesthetic” has changed a lot over the years. I wouldn’t say no to this pot as long as it does its job well enough. So… how does it perform?

Don’t know, the pot’s too dirty for me to use, and I have way too many pots to clean.

just add a teaspoon of chemipro OXI (or other oxygen cleaning agent), 1l of hot water and it’ll work wonders!

Wabi sabi depends on personal taste but also on set and setting. If you table, your tea tray, cups, other equipment, in a dark room with candle light, this pot is wabi sabi. With harsh lighting on a clinical white porcelain, it’s crude.
