This is a stainless steel kettle from Sakai Tohji, a high-end traditional Japanese brand. The construction is solid, but there is rust on the areas exposed to heat due to use. I am unsure if it is compatible with IH (induction heating) and would appreciate it if you could check. Also, please understand that it has been stored for a long time, so please check the photos before purchasing. I hope you will find it useful! - Brand: Sakai Tohji - Material: Stainless steel - Product Name: Kettle - Color: Silver - Condition: Used Thank you for looking.
