Purchased new for 2,200 yen a few years ago and used for about six months. I'm selling it to someone who needs it, as I don't use it often. Please check the images 1-4 and only purchase if you understand that it is a used item. ———————— Pottery, made in Japan Diameter 11.5 x Height 5.5 cm Microwave: No, Dishwasher: No, Oven: No There are black spots and cloudiness. This cloudiness relaxes the tension and creates a unique softness. This is a characteristic of the item and is not a defect, so please be aware of this. Depending on the thickness of the glaze and the position in the kiln during firing, the color may appear reddish. Please enjoy this as an individual characteristic. Before purchasing: Due to the manufacturing process of pottery, stains may occur if you place food with a high oil content or strong colors on it. Before use, passing it through hot water once will make it less likely to stain or get mold. (Do not boil.) Soaking in water can cause stains, so please refrain from doing so.
