Swivel Side Pour Teapot for Tea Ceremony

Bought this teapot in the gray glass and I absolutely love it. The color is stunning, the attention to detail is absolutely beautiful, and this has become my go to teapot for doing a tea ceremony. Even though it is a gray glass color, the tea leaves are still very visible so you can still appreciate the beauty of the tea. To me the most satisfying is that you get to do your tea ceremony with literally just one hand as you turn the pot the basket holding the leaves swivels for you making it so that you do not spill and that you only need one hand operate the teapot. is absolutely stunning, does not hold a large amount of tea, but certainly enough to do a tea ceremony. The basket itself for the tea leaves is made of the same glass so it is wonderful that it never stains. I do find that the slits in the tea basket are a little large so if you are doing a tea that is fine or in nature, some of the tea leaves will fall through so to resolve that I just place a mesh strainer on top of my teacup , that way it filters through when I pour it for my ceremony. To me that’s about the only downfall to the pot, but honestly, I love that the basket is glass and would rather use a strainer versus using a teapot where the basket itself is mesh. Definitely a chic tea pot that is a staple in my collection. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it and use it almost daily.
