Ceramic kettle compatible with IH, black with a handle. 1.5L (direct fire ok) Used a few times and stored. There is some wear and tear, but it is in relatively clean condition. I used it on an IH, not direct fire, to brew Chinese herbal medicine. It has a calm design, so I think it's easy to use. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous about used items stored at home. I will clean it as much as possible, wrap it in cushioning material, and ship it in the box in the photo wrapped in wrapping paper, or in a cardboard box with simple packaging. Thank you.
