International HEARTLAND crock

Not entirely sure what this exact piece is used for.. my research is pulling it up as a casserole dish but I don’t think that’s quite right for this piece. I think this would be so cute to serve soup this holiday season! It has no safety instructions on the bottom so I wouldn’t use it with any heat source, but as serve ware? Yes!!! There is a tiny chip on the very bottom that is not noticeable unless the pot is upside down (see pictures). The top doesn’t fit snuggly on the pot, I posted a video to show this. Not sure if that is by design or if it was a mistake during production.
