I have taken some pictures of the defects on the pot which are visible throughout on all sides.  It is as if I received a “used” pot…certainly was not in good condition.  It has permanent discolourations all over, and pieces of raised plaster on it.  Also, the colour is listed as white, however, it is a cream colour with some yellow and brown imperfections on it.  It actually looks as if it had been used outdoors for some time.  It is not what I was expecting at all.  I ordered a replacement, and it was heavily soiled and damaged also.
