I bought this because I thought it was cute, but I've never used it and it's been sitting in my cupboard. I believe this item is no longer sold. It was sold on Amazon for 10,980 yen!! It can be used as an oil pot, but it can also be used stylishly as a display piece, a small item holder, or a vase!! In the last photo, there appears to be a crack at the base of the handle, but this was present from the time of purchase. Those who are Studio M fans may already know this, but it is not a defect due to the handmade nature of the product. The paint is also applied on top, so it is a good product!! Thank you.
