your picture shows the exact style Bendigo pot my proud husband brought back from a trip as a gift for me over twenty years ago.  I love it and it cooks beautifully although I have only used it in the home electric oven.  I do find it a bit heavy to handle, but not more than CO's of course, and the resulting casseroles etc make up for having to take care of how I lift it out of the oven.  The inside cleans well too.
