This pot is beautiful and I can't wait to use it. It arrived packed well and nothing was broken. The one problem is that the tape used to secure the lid to the pot left behind a residue that won't come off. I've washed the pot 3 times, used a glue remover (hoping it wouldn't damage the glaze) and tried just rubbing it off while dry. This stuff WILL NOT come off. I'd suggest using a different type of tape in the packing process, like maybe painter's tape.
