There are some discoloration and minor scratches, but it's still usable. Be careful as the handle gets hot. Also, if you put the lid on after cooking, it will stick tightly, but it will loosen again when heated. This pot has been popular since the Showa era. I bought it remembering my mother using it often at her home, but my family situation has changed and I don't have many opportunities to use it, so I'm putting it up for sale. Thank you.
