This is a clay pot that can be used with IH cooktops. The design is the popular Hanakishima (Flower Mishima). It hasn't been used much, so it's glossy and beautiful, but there is some spillage staining on the bottom. The following is quoted from the Hanakishima website: About the product: The Hanakishima clay pot has been a long-selling item since the 1970s, loved by many people. Its durability is proven by its use in high-class restaurants and other establishments for over 20 years without deterioration. The hand-painted design by artisans is not only beautiful but also provides a sense of warmth every time it is used. Features: Mishima pattern that fits on the dining table: The second generation, Tetsuzo Kumamoto, was the first to bring the Mishima technique, originally used for teacups, to clay pots. Hanakishima, with its good compatibility with Japanese tableware and its calm appearance, enriches the time spent enjoying hot pot dishes across generations.
