Bare Ceramic....dishwasher ready. If you're concerned about scratching, just cut out a circular felt pad using the base as a template and glue it to the bottom.

Bottom is flat with slightly round edge. I luv this pan, nice and big, easy to clean and if you follow the instructions for the first few used should last long time.

The bottom side of mine is smooth and the top side is a matte type surface.Works for me and I have used it this way for 6 months with no problems.A very high quality product that does not slide around on my hardwood floor.

Yes it is very smooth. It is also a very handsome kitchen accessory. I used it for fennel seeds. As they turned to powder, the powder did not have anything to cling to and just sank to the bottom.

It's light and smooth enough that I can't see it scratching the table. I have it on a Corian counter and didn't put any felt pads under it to protect the surface.

Yes the pestle has the same clear varnish on about 3/4 of it, the bottom rounded tip is unfished so it works nicely when using it in the mortar

Hi Genevieve, You know it is smooth on the inside, I never really noticed. I will check and get back to you. I do love it though!

I would say that it's quite smooth on the inside. There's a plastic piece that fits around to form the top opening. That has a few small spots where the plastic isn't quite smooth, but I think those could quickly & easily be sanded down if you felt they might snag something. As far as I know, they've never caused any snagging on any of my clothes.

Yes, they are smooth on the bottom. They do discolor inside; make sure to have plenty of stainless steel cleaner on hand.

It is not completely smooth. It has a slight ridge that goes around the bottom about an inch and a half from the edge of the pot. Hope that helps. Mary

The bottom surface is smooth and sliding is not a problem. I have used this skillet many times, mostly as an omelet pan, and it is a very high quality cooking tool. I would not want to be without it!

Its smooth. You will love it. Very easy to clean as nothing sticks to it. My favorite spatula!

The bottom is mesh like the sides. Like another commenter said, it does overvlow when making a large, strong pot of coffee. Also the lift handle, which is convenient, broke on mine.

Mine is speckled and the pestle is a bit different in coloring than the bowl. Granite is a funny thing though. Albeit, it doesn't look bad at all. I am pleased.

There is no felt. Bottom is same material as top. But bottom is very finely smooth and slippery. This is for commercial tables not for home versions sold at retail stores. It is well made and strong. It did not work for me.

At the bottom it's a flat stainless plate, most of the element is covered, except for a small stainless rod that goes up the inside of the carafe near the handle side. I've had it a while now, and I haven't had any problems with it, it works well, easy to clean!
