There's absolutely no sign that this has ever been used. Still bright and shiny as the day it was made. There's a tiny tiny darkish spot on the inside of the lid. It would likely wash, but I didn't attempt, and instead featured it in the final picture. It's right next to the vent hole.
From the maker:
The Superstone® Bread Dome mimics a professional brick-lined oven right in your own kitchen! The Superstone Bread Dome is the perfect shape for baking no-knead breads. The domed shape circulates air for a uniform heat producing perfect baking results. Superstone® stoneware material heats evenly, producing a bread crust without hot spots. The unglazed interior lid pulls moisture from the dough, producing a bread with a crackly crust and light interior crumb just like breads from your favorite artisan bakery! Many baking cookbooks recommend Superstone because of its superior performance. Great for roasting potatoes with a fluffy light interior and crispy skin. Roast succulent chicken, meats and vegetables. The glazed bottom won’t absorb flavors, making this a truly versatile piece. And the glazed interior makes cleanup a snap! It's dishwasher, microwave and convection oven-safe.
