This is an iron kettle I purchased at a general goods store a few years ago. The inside is enamel-coated. I put it on the shelf after using it once or not at all, but there is a little rust on the base of the handle. Other than that, I think it's in good condition. There are no noticeable stains or scratches, but I may have overlooked something. Please purchase with the understanding that it will be given as is, with simple cleaning and packaging, as a used item, and stored at home. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. m(_ _)m
