I bought it new, washed it, and then displayed it. I took too good care of it and never used it, and then washed it again. It's not as shiny as new, but I think it's clean. I bought it when it won the Good Design Award, I think? As a bonus, it came with a natural wood trivet. The sizes match, so it looks cute on the table. The inside is coated. For someone who will use it.
