This is a stainless steel pot from "alfi," a popular German brand. It has a simple and elegant design and excellent heat and cold retention. I am selling it because I haven't used it in recent years. There is some discoloration on the lid's packing due to age (but it is not deteriorated). There is no odor. It functions perfectly fine. I hesitated to sell this favorite pot for a while, but I would like to pass it on to someone who will use it. It is generally in good condition, but since it is not new, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor scratches or scuffs. The box and accessories are not included. I will carefully pack it with bubble wrap for shipping. Please note! This pot has a glass interior, so I believe there was a warning not to put ice in it.
