Pot # 1 was slightly splashy but quite reasonable. You could get all the tea in a cup without heavy effort. I've seen worse commercial ones, though far more often, I've seen better. Since that's the pot with the pretty carving, I'm just as happy it's almost viable..
Pot # 2 poured slightly sideways, which is partly because the spout is still a bit twisted, and will be until firing # 2 (And likely after). It also poured very little and very slowly. Too thin and too long, I guess. And likely to end up worse after glazing, if it doesn't outright close. Not much dribble, though.
Pot # 3 was HILARIOUS. It pours off at an angle of about 30 degrees sideways (Leftward). And out a bit. And the liquid mostly comes out the top of the spout (You can put your finger under it at the bottom right and get damp only from dribbles). And, yes, those dribbles. That'd be ... FAIL.
