Wabi Sabi Teapot

Wabi Sabi speaks to the transience of all things, and that beauty can be found and made in the most simple and basic of elements. A stone garden path. A mountain dirt road. A smoothed river rock. A pile of leaves in Autumn. This teapot. Made of natural clay with an ash glaze, the round body of the pot is flecked with brown during the the firing process, reminding us that natural beauty that can arise out of imperfection. A wraparound interior Obi Ami (ultra-fine mesh screen) filters out even the finest particle leaves and herbs from your infusion.

Best experienced by sipping tea from this pot, Wabi Sabi is everywhere...when you know where, and how to see it. In the modern classic by Leonard Koren, Wabi Sabi is an elusive concept represented perfectly by the perfect imperfection of the natural world. Witness it all here with this pot when you make tea. The sound of boiling water, the sight of unfurling tea leaves, the ephemeral aroma of tea wafting as it arcs from the dripless spout, the texture of this pot's smooth, flecked surface. Everything, this pot, these leaves, the aroma, the taste of the brew, our very breath, is fleeting. Impermanent. And that is beautiful to know.

This is the new age interpretation of the term. :P

[Shannmeister]

At around 57 secs mention is made of reclaiming the wood used for the work  surface from the forest. The wood cannot be reclaimed it from the forest, it has been have taken it from the forest. Wabi sabi as I understand it is all about transience and does not refer to necessarily only natural objects. Anything can attain wabi sabi, indeed the term is often used in describing well used watches which get scratches etc which helps a watch attain greater character.
