Or pottery or stoneware or whatever it is. I've done some searching but can't come up with anything solid. My friend found it partially buried at a old homestead while out deer hunting and gave it to me. I cleaned it up and it has the mark on the side in the pic. The bottom has USA etched in the bottom in freehand like it was done when the clay was still soft.

A quick Google says it's a 2 quart bean pot made by the Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Company, which was in business from 1920-2005.

Well thank you Rogue I don't know why I couldn't come up with that. My Duck Duck Fu must be losing it's power.

You cleaned it up very nicely.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Just a little soak in warm soapy water and a soft brush. He gave me another piece with no markings of any kind on it and found it in a old corn crib at the same place that had collapsed. Not a bean pot like the first one it reminds me of a clay tortilla warmer only deeper. Making fajitas Thursday so I think I'll make some Esquites and serve it in that piece as a side dish. They look nice in the kitchen and add some vintage flair.
