More ‘seconds’ then expected.
The pan is a large 14” and it’s heavy ageless timeless heirloom piece and of course it’s beautiful - I made the mistake of buying a seconds and unfortunately it is to be a gift for my daughter’s birthday and the purchase of her first home - so I hoped the defect would be slight and essentially unnoticeable. It not only has a small pitting in the floor of the pan but also two clear fingerprint marks in the coppery patina on its internal side walls. Making the ‘seconds’ more noticeable than I expected. I’m not sure what I will do, maybe keep it myself and buy her something else as it is not returnable.
