Ideal for the collector of foundry items, it can also still be used. This iron pot can last for centuries more...use it, preserve it, and enjoy what it is and what it makes for you and your family and friends.

There are no cracks, holes or flaws of any kind. It weighs a whopping 18 lbs.. It is 10" read more
