MCT -HS012B

My teapot just arrived, looks to be of good quality, tea cups are glazed on the inside as shown. The teapot itself feels very nice, good weight and form. As I expected and I am glad to report it is not glazed at all, and for those new to zinsha teapots this means you should only brew one type of tea in it. The teacups can be used for all types of tea. About to cure the pot, i will report on it afterwards. Overall very pleased.Edit 1/07/2015:The teapot seasoned wellOne critique: I found a small chip on one of the teacups, it looks like it will progress with use and eventually split the teacup, I decided not to take a star off because of this as teacups are easily replaceable and will eventually crack anyway. I would be curious if future purchasers find similar faults.

The teapot arrived right on time, no damages, with fast shipment.However, the pot itself is of incredibly poor craftsmanship, and the clay used its manufacture doesn't lift a candle to my cheapest yixing pot ($22 USD).The texure of the pot is awful, just touching it is unpleasant. The sound of this lid against the pot sounds like it's being tortured (a hallmark, I've found, of improper firing), but more than that, it sounds more like a cheap ceramic than yixing clay. Its also far too light to be a true yixing pot. The lid-fit is also very poor, but this is a machine-made pot which doesn't make any sence.As a lover of teas and a user of zisha clay, this is a horrible clay teapot. It's a blatant fake, like they're not even trying. I wasn't looking for the best (which will never be in this price range), just an average little pot to brew some teas in, this is certainly not it.

Arrived on time and in great condition. Smaller than expected. Good product.

Excellent product super fast shipping Thanks
