This was given to me by my aunt, who was a tea ceremony teacher. It's a convenient size and a beautiful color, but I only use dishes that are dishwasher safe, so I haven't had a chance to use it. It's in very good condition. I've been keeping it for a long time and it's a waste, so I'm putting it up for sale in the hopes that someone will use it. I've included a comparison with a 500ml plastic bottle so you can get an idea of the size. I've lowered the price considerably.
