Teapots will come into contact with high-temperature plates during the firing process, leaving scratches and marks on the bottom of many teapots. This is unavoidable. The inner wall of the teapot handle cannot be polished clean due to smoke exposure. Such marks are not considered flaws. If this is unacceptable, please do not place an order. The capacity of teapots can only be approximate and not precise to a certain value; there will be deviations in color due to variations in kiln firing. We do not sell perfect teapots or finely crafted teapots; nothing in this world is perfect. Minor scratches or marks are not considered flaws. We try our best during shipping but sometimes mistakes happen. If it doesn't meet your requirements, please return it instead of accusing us of deceiving consumers. If you mind, please do not place an order
