well
I just looked and your are in Montana
fine State
but its not near the SilkRoad nor the SilverRoad etc
so it more or less lived most of its life in Montana
or was brought there by those who sold it in their yard
one foot by one foot is a bit large for a bean pot
at least those in N.E.
Im very intrigued
no marking on the bottom ?
still a wonderful find.
if you eventually don't get a line on it
invent your own
why not ?
just don't cook with it
it might not do well.
would you be ably to take a pic of the inside and the inside of the lid ?
