At what point does an item get past the level of wabi sabi and into the territory of just really badly made/damaged? You decide. 115ml.
In present day China are positions of power gained through meritocracy or who you know?

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!

I don’t think there’s usually much ID-ing to be done. You could just link to a photo here

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.
