The product is an antique cast iron bean pot that is 9 13/16" across and 6 3/4" tall. It is round in shape, made for hearth or fireplace use, and crafted from black cast iron. The bean pot is a vintage piece from the late 19th century, featuring the branding of H.F. Co. 8 ,for HIGHLAND FOUNDRY of Boston MA. This original collectible cookware item adds a touch of history and charm to any kitchen or home decor.

Looks like it will cleanup pretty well and has 3 short feet and a gate mark. What looks like a crack in the handle ears is just a line of soot buildup. 

The last picture shows the 1770s fireplace this came from.  The CT colonial farmhouse has been in the same family since it was built. I bought out the contents of this fireplace and will be listing it all over the next week or so.
