I brought a le creuset one from john Lewis in a sale ages ago, at least five years, probably more.
Love it. 23cm maybe 30cm with a lid. Does everything I need and after a soak you can scrub off everything..Similar to this

Just seen you said you wanted a saucepan, they also do a saucepan and pots as well in the same style.

I have the Le Creuset non-stick stainless frying pan. It's a beautiful bit of kit, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
I have been looking at the uncoated 3-ply saucepans, and while they look lovely (if a bit pricey), I find that helper handles are a lot less help than they pretend to be, particularly when I have a stove covered in pots & I'm running out of space.
I do like the riveted / bolted handles though - Far less likely to snap off than a welded handle.

I'm looking for saucepan recommendations / suggestions please, folks - my tired & crappy 20cm pan died, and I feel it's time to buy something nice (and maybe a bit matchy matchy) for once.
My thoughts are turned to stainless steel* - What do people have, and how long have they had them for? What is good / bad about them.
* I never really need non-stick, cast-iron isn't really suitable for saucepans, enamelled is too easy to damage, copper is a pretty extravagance, and aluminium does weird things with acid / salt.
