I have bought this exact teapot four times now. TL;DR This is absolutely the best glass teapot I know of.
Once as a gift, and three times for myself, this teapot is my favorite. I first bought it back in 2018 as my first tea pot. I did a lot of searching to make sure I got something that would work right, and I nailed it. My subsequent purchases have been from unfortunate breaks (my fault), the most recent being a few days ago. Let me break it down for you:
Quality: This teapot is nice, made in Japan, durable, and has a clean, well finished look. It does NOT smell like a factory, and feels very sturdy.
Design: This pot is short, and holds 700ml (About 3 cups worth). Plenty for a small group or a nice pot for yourself. The pour is nice and easy to control (no fancy spout needed), and the handle does well enough (never had a problem, even with big hands). The best part? The wide mouthed mesh basket is fantastic, and the reason this pot originally caught my eye.
Having a large, roomy basket allows the leaves to spread out and steep more evenly, which will always make better tea; this also means its easier to clean out the leaves and pot when finished. It baffles me that those hard, skinny infusers are now the norm for pots, they are simply awful and a huge pain to clean, not to mention it constricts your leaves. This pot has none of those issues, which is alone worth some huge points.
Value: When I broke my pot the other day, after lamenting my own stupidity, my first thought was "I'm going to have to wait a few days to make another pot", I wasn't even considering the cost. Originally ~16 USD when I bought it, it seems to float between ~19-24 USD now, (probably due to the high inflation), but that price easily worth it many times over. Sure you could get some poorly designed, glass pot from China and save a few bucks, but why?
Cons: There are a few criticisms I have. First, the mesh basket is, for whatever reason, made in China. I have no clue why this is, but I would definitely appreciate if this was a fully Japanese made pot from, start to finish, even if the price was slightly higher. Secondly, The mesh basket is the only part that seems to age. After around 3 years my original basket was looking rough and warped (though still functional). I'm not the best at knowing how to treat certain materials, so maybe cleaning it a certain way could have helped? Not sure, but eventually the basket will start to age if you use it the way I have.
Final thoughts: Buying this pot again was a no-brainer. After four years, this pot continually serves me well and remains my daily driver. Whether you are a new drinker or veteran, this will NOT let you down. Despite my small complaints, I think this deserves five stars, especially compared against the competition.

Good teapot overall
Overall a nice teapot. The basket that it comes with is large and prevents my loose leaf from getting through. The tea pot is pretty thin and light so it loses heat relatively quickly (requires a bit more careful handling too) but is very easy to clean all components.
