I received this as a prize at work, which was purchased at an authorized Japanese retailer. I already had one that I was using, so I've only used this one once. However, there are some minor scratches on the rim from when I moved it. The inside is very clean, and I don't think it will affect its use. I will carefully wrap it to prevent further damage before shipping. Please feel free to ask any questions or leave a comment. Thank you for your consideration. - Brand: STAUB - Model Name: La Cocotte - Country of Manufacture: France - Color: Mustard - Size: 18cm Thank you for looking.
