Cast Iron Enameled Pot

I was thinking of starting a separate blog for objects I love, but will just add them to my primary Cashflow 101 blog for now.

This pot has oak handles, attached with screws.

The orange enamel subtly changes hue from top to bottom.

The bottom reads: "Marquis of Queensburry Design, Royal Hunt, Gourmet Cookware, Made in England." There is a small horn between "royal" and "hunt"

This is one of my treasured finds at a local thrift store =)

I checked online and found this particular Marquis of Queensburry was involved in a design consultancy. It was at a time when people would buy things because an aristocrat designed it. However, the page also said the consultancy's objective was to bring good design to more people. I have no idea if this was sold in N. America.

I've been interested in cast iron for awhile. Our household has always used cast iron skillets, but I learned of dutch ovens from my wonderful fanatic professor. I'm interested in old companies like Copco.

Reminder: this is a doodad!
