Purchased while living in Germany. This is a special pot for Spargel (white asparagus), which is eaten in the spring. It's long. In Japan, you can use it to cook spaghetti and other long foods. Size: Diameter 16cm, approx. 5L Length: approx. 22cm I haven't used it for several years and have stored it in a dark place. It shows signs of use. Thank you for looking.
