I am selling this item to clear out my parents' house. I purchased it over 20 years ago and used it with great care. There is a scratch on the back, please check the images. (I placed it on the stove when it was hot) I have tested it by pouring boiling water into it, and it works perfectly. I have washed it, but there are fine scratches and some stains that I couldn't remove. It is a used item with a well-loved feel. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your purchase.
