Has anyone on this thread ordered the Anta pottery kettles from Taiwan Sourcing? I'm curious as to how they pour. (I'm silly, I know :mrgreen: )

I'm actually curious about this too. Those kettles look awesome.

I've just got mine :) It may take me a while to asses the effect of the clay on the water. As for the pour, i find it very nice, steady, fast and gentle.
It seems easier and more natural not to hold handle in the middle while pouring, but more towards the back where it curves (which is right above the steam hole, but not a big issue for me).

That's the same with the Lin's kettles. It's because when you tilt the kettle the middle of the handle is no longer on a vertical line passing through the barycenter of the kettle :)

Awesome, thank you for the action shot.

I may be getting one soon, but I'm still talking myself out of guilt after buying one of Kyarazen's pots. :lol:
