Very clean. Beautiful and Functional. Refer to images for flaws: Scratches on Stainless Steel Lid. Filter basket is tilted, not sure if it came this way or has been bent. This makes for great final drainage of coffee. There are some spots on the outside of the pot (see images). Glass percolator knob is in excellent condition. I was told that this pot , lid and glass have not been unused for coffee making. Looks true, but cannot verify that. The filter basket came from another same P-166 pot.
