I am going to keep the pots because they are a great size and work for what I was looking for however the issue with this pot is that on 1 side of the ceramic is poorly constructed. I purchased 2. As you can see from the photos attached you could see the ceramic has dents in it. Again, its workable and the pot can be turned to an angle to hide the defects but they're there. From a distance you can't see them. Other than that, its strong and sturdy
