I washed it, intending to use it, but it was too small for my home. I'm selling it because I bought a larger one. Note: The box is a different type. Direct flame and microwave safe. It can also be used with an IH if you use an IH heating plate. We also have IH, but we use a heating plate. (Heat conduction is gentle, though...) You'll enjoy cooking because you can see the contents! I plan to ship it in the box in the photo, wrapped in bubble wrap. I will use recycled packing materials. Please refrain from price negotiations. Glass pot Heat-resistant glass pot VISION Vision vision iwaki Iwaki
