We needed a big pot again and chose a solid product of WMF. The pot is fine and served its purpose. For the price the pot is a real bargain ... we thought. However, it turned out in the supply, not the original pot of WMF "Made in Germany" (stands else in the pot bottom plan), it is but one, probably in the Far East, produced pot. He makes a solid impression was favorable and we keep it ... even if it is no longer a bargain :-)
