This is a single item in a rusty brown color, so the applied lacquer does not contain "ohaguro" (a traditional blackening agent). This product allows for better iron supplementation. There are no problems with the condition of the inside and outside of the product (see each image). As it is a stored item made some time ago, there are spots of lacquer peeling inside. There is no problem with its use. As it is a practical item, it can be used directly over a flame. The forged handle is fixed, and the attachment is secure. There are no water leaks or other issues. There may be unseen dirt, discoloration, dullness, scratches, and scuffs. If there is any discrepancy between the images and the product description, the images, which are the actual item, will take precedence. Please ask any questions if you have any concerns or doubts. The item for sale is only the current item. A trivet is not included. For customers who wish, a simple instruction manual will be provided. Please feel free to ask. As there may be individual differences in how the condition is perceived, please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous person. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions before purchasing. Please make your judgment by viewing the images. Type: Tea Ceremony Utensils, Iron Kettle, Nambu Iron Kettle, Nambu Ironware, Cooking Utensils Main Material: Iron
