I've been using this professionally for about six months. While there's some paint chipping, I think it can still be used actively. I will ship it in a box. ----------------------------------- > Popular milk pitcher from WPM. Approximately 300cc markings on the inside. The large handle is easy to hold, and the top is cut at an angle to make it easier to control the flow of milk. Used for warming milk and various other beverages. Also for those who want to do latte art.
