Vintage Stoneware Crock Pot or Casserole - Pearson's of Chesterfield



A 3 pint stoneware casserole or crock pot by Pearson's of Chesterfield. Beige, salt-glazed and well used! I have tried to get the food stains out and have largely succeeded. There is still some ingrained and I dare say with a bit off application it can be totally cleaned. The lid, I'm afraid, isn't the original one but it's a Pearson's lid and fits perfectly. I had thought this was fairly vintage but apparently Pearson's didn't start to stamp "Established 1810" until the 1970's but I would hazard a guess and say it's at least 30 years old. The company went under about 20 years ago. Overall condition appears to be very good.
