The photos are not photoshopped. I found the Le Creuset crocks in the gardening section of a nearby HomeGoods. Nobody’s noticed and nobody’s buying. This is a factory seconds … no chip, no crack, paint is evenly made, but I could see the top edge isn’t perfectly even (simply put the crock upside down 🙃 to confirm) The crock sits evenly / stably on the table the right-side up. It has been unused, sitting around. Original label is still attached.
