I purchased this several years ago. As an auspicious "Tako (octopus) nabe" (hot pot), I bought a lot of them at the time, but I have too many, so I'm decluttering only this one. Please see the last image for the size. The octopus's mouth is designed to emit steam. This is handmade by the artist, so please look at the images carefully before purchasing. I've only used it to rinse with water, but there are minor scratches that were present from the time of purchase. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. It has been stored away for a long time. For those who like Asuka Toba, Akihiro Nikaido, etc.
