Thank you for viewing. This is a very popular earthenware pot. The glaze covers the entire bottom of the pot, and the thickness of the earthenware is a quality not seen elsewhere. The leaf-like handles are easy to grip and fit comfortably in your fingers, and this pot has a unique, handmade texture and the substantial feel of the earth. Please check the photos for the condition of use. I have used it a few times, but there are no cracks or chips. Shipping is not available during the following period! Please be aware. Shipping unavailable period: October 23rd to November 1st
