I'm starting to wonder now if it's a modern replica with a missing "Made in somewhere" sticker. My pot also has an indent like the example antidiem found but mine is in the spout rather than the rim of the lid. It puzzled me because it looked like a chip but I couldn't decide whether it had been smoothed over. Now I'm thinking it was smoothed over and, like the base, was just sloppy work when the piece was removed from the mold. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think I picked this picked up this up very cheap at auction and I may just donate it rather than attempt to sell it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much for helping me crystalize my thinking on this pot.
