Looks wonderful. Definitely a few small black spots on it (as mentioned in the listing), but nothing detracting from the overall look and appeal. It doesn't come with a tea strainer, but I did have a spare circular one that fits the circumference of the tea opening (from David's Tea). This jade style matches well with the double/triple tier stand as well as the saucer/cup/spoon bundle also available on this site. Very fast shipping once ordered.
