Former CMA director Sherman Lee described the jagged, broken skirt of this kettle as \"attractively damaged,\" complementing the unobtrusive wispy designs on its rough metal surface. The character of this kettle\u2014worn, coarse, the \"perfection\" of symmetry destroyed\u2014was cherished by tea masters for its powerful humility.",
