I'm not sure if it's handmade, but I purchased it about 20 years ago at a Kappabashi kitchenware store. I remember it cost around 1500-2000 yen each. I haven't used them much. They are in good condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist or looking for a new item, as this is based on my personal assessment. The AA battery in photo 9 is for reference only. There is no original box, so I will pack it with bubble wrap and a cardboard box I have on hand. I cannot ship overseas.
