Bean Pot Monmouth IL Pottery Stoneware Crock Pot w/Lid Maple Leaf Logo Brown Tan

Bean Pot Monmouth IL Pottery Stoneware Crock Pot w/Lid Maple Leaf Logo Brown Tan Vtg 50s. Perfect for collectors of Monmouth Illinois pottery and western stoneware. This vintage 1950s brown and tan baked bean bowl/western stoneware crock with lid, is from the famous Monmouth, Ill. pottery and stoneware factory. It has the famous maple leaf logo on the bottom of the bowl. The beige and brown server/bean pot with lid is reminiscent of farmhouse, rustic cabin or chic retroware style. Made in the USA. These retro/vintage pottery pieces sell for $125.00 and higher without a lid, depending on condition, at resale shops, on consignment, online, etc. Because there is a hairline fracture in the lid which has been mended (see photo where this is pointed out), I am highly discounting the price. Stored in a cool dry place. Comes from a smoke-free/pet-free home. Without the lid, nor the handles, the pot measures 7-1/2" wide dia. X 4" high. Handles included, with lid on, the pot measures 9" at widest point X 6-1/4" high.
