A lovely little object

This is a lovely little object. The cream color is attractive, and it is finished with a matte glaze. The subtle curves fit in the hand inviting you to pick it up and pour some tea. For Rudin low temperatures, such as gyokuru and kabusecha, this is the perfect tea pot. However, it is quite small. While the capacity is listed at 160 ml, you'd be hard pressed to put that much water in this houhin without spilling it. You can comfortable put around 120 ml in it, which is the right size for a small yunomi, or for two very small servings of a concentrated tea.
