This piece is perfect for collectors looking to complete a vintage pot, nesting pan, or primitive kitchenware set. It also looks beautiful on its own as rustic farmhouse or cottagecore wall decor. It has great patina as you can see from the photos. Some of the enamel broke off long ago and has been worn smooth from use. My 95-year-old mother, who recently passed away, used this lid a lot when I was a kid as she would set it on a cast iron skillet when she cooked fried potatoes, which I swear happened at least 3 times a week when I was growing up. If you want something for your rustic kitchen with actual patina from use, then this is it!
