I noticed the sale too late to purchase a pair but luckily managed to get the last one. The capacity is nice. The shape is not one I readily associate with tea, but here the material and calligraphy are so beautiful that I am more than willing to include it in my collection. And the atmosphere it brings to the tea table is one of old, and noble grace. Thank you for offering such fine wares for sale!
