I purchased this in Vietnam about 30 years ago and have kept it stored at home ever since. It is unused, but there is no box. It is shaped like a pot, but it cannot be used over direct heat. I think it can be used for serving large dishes or as a candy dish. Size (please allow for some error): Width (longest part including handles): 21cm Height (longest part with the lid closed): 13cm There is an air hole on the knob of the lid. (For preventing the ceramic from bursting during firing? There is no hole on the lid side, so it is not for opening and closing) If you have any concerns, please contact me in the comments. I can add more photos. There are no scratches or cracks, but it has been stored at home, so please purchase it after you are satisfied.
