This is a ceramic one-handed pot. Its cute, rounded form is adorable, and it's functional as it can be used directly on a flame. I purchased two sizes, large and small, from Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten. This is the large size. I am also selling the small size separately, so please take a look if you'd like. I have used it several times, so there is some wear on the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, there is no noticeable major damage. We generally do not accept returns or refunds after purchase. Please check the images, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thank you for taking the time to look at my items. *Shipping will be suspended from November 27th to December 7th. Thank you for your understanding.
