This is my first kyusu which I am using to brew some gyokoru I picked up locally. I spent a long time deciding on my kyusu and ultimately settled on this for the atypical color and the inclusion of the mogake element. I received my order in the US in what felt like record time - less than 2 days from when I ordered, straight from Kyoto. The order, which included a teacup as well, was well-protected from breakage. The teapot itself has a very smooth matte (unglazed) finish inside and out, the lid fits very well, and I am glad to see the mogake patterning extends over the lid and onto a bit of the body of the kyusu. I thought I was getting a larger size at 300mL (given that other pots I've seen go down into the 100mL range), yet this kyusu stil feels very small to me - but this may come down to your own personal expectations and preference. That said, I am very happy with the quality of the item and the purchase process from Hibiki-An.
