USPerfectly fine teapot
I bought this to use with oolong teas in my tea-tasting sessions. for the price, it's a great pot. the lid wiggles a little but sits flat, the pot has a nice ring when tapped, and shows all the signs I know to recognize as being genuine hong-ni clay. the spout is good too. The only negative I can think to say is that the pot streams from the lid while pouring when filled to its maximum, so don't fill it all the way to the top. There are worse teapots on the market for $70 + shipping, so even though this one isn't some kind of masterwork or artpiece, it's still worth it.
