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.

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.
