Seems like a well made pot but mine was chipped at the rim. There’s about a 1/2” chip, returning pot.Edit: great customer service from Marquette Castings, the color I want isn’t in stock now but I was added to the list and am looking forward to being able to repurchase.There are not a lot of variables. The one variable is the lid nob. It is very sharp. Because of that i would not buy this again. Other dutch ovens have round nobs and much easier to use in picking up the heavy lid.LOVE THIS. I have been investing in quality kitchen tools that will last for life. This is a great addition. Perfect for so many dishes. Heavy and durable. Very impressed.I have been researching dutch ovens and came across the Marquette Castings 6 qt. I know I didn't want to spend $300 for one, and even though it was expensive, I am very happy with the quality of the pot, and cooking with it is wonderful!Awesomenso far. We cook with it all the time. It’s flat on the bottom like the more expensive brand and seems equal in every way, but costs way lessI researched Dutch Ovens for months. Of course I watched the two Test Kitchen review videos. And I looked at colors, heights, handles, lids, knobs, and finishes. Lodge was never a consideration because of that weird bowled shape at the bottom. And the Cuisinart Chef's Classic (ATK recommended) piece has doubled in price since their review. Misen stopped offering theirs with a traditional lid & now you have to buy it with that awkward grill-pan lid. Then I watched Marquette's videos with Eric slamming steel balls & hammers into the enamels. And I saw how he really strove for even-handedness in reviewing each pan.To be fair, I was already more than halfway there towards buying the Marquette Castings Dutch Oven... those are the biggest loop handles of anyone's - and the interior finish is even brighter than the Le Creuset. Then I found out that their metal knob is over 2" in diameter.And it performed as well as Le Creuset & Staub for enamel durability? And Eric is gonna stand by that pot even if I damage it? What more did I need to know?I bought the Shipwreck Navy 6-quart (it's actually a bit bigger than 6 quarts). Man, is this thing beautiful. And for its inaugural run, I really put it to the test. Pre-heating the Dutch Oven at 500 degrees for over 20 minutes, then pulling it out & dumping a glob of room-temperature bread dough into it. Then baking at 485 until that bread was dark, dark brown on top. The extra flour had burned black onto my beautiful Dutch Oven's pristine enamel bottom!When I tell you that the enamel cleaned up perfectly, I mean this Dutch Oven looks sparkling new. This enamel is as tough & slick as glass. Marquette's Dutch Oven is just the perfect size; the look is stunning, and the form and function is, it seems, the best you can get. I don't always write reviews this involved, but I'm not shy about this one. In the non-French category for Dutch Ovens (or if you simply want the biggest, best handles), I believe you cannot do better than the Marquette Castings.VERY NICE. THIS DUTCH OVEN CAME SAME DAY THANKS TO PRIME. IT LOOKS VERY DURABLE. CANT WAIT TO USE IT...THANK YOU!!!!After years of cooking nice to have wonderful very useful pot
