Old Bean Pot - unmarked

any ideas on the maker of this old bean pot? I've googled till I almost cannot see anymore. Thanks!

 

I'd say 1950s Ohio, but beyond that not a clue. Odds are it was used as a cookie jar. The whole Colonial Revival shtick was popular in the 50s/60s and these went with the theme. Lots of bean pots were made but few ever held beans after one try at it. I know because mine is sitting unloved and dusty after a few tries too; it's a lot newer, but it's a lot easier to get the beans out of a can.(LOL)

 

LOL, yes it easier to get them from a can is but homemade beans are the bomb! Except for the cleaning up part. I will look at some cookie jars, never crossed my mind for some reason. Thanks !!!

 

I'm leaning towards Monmouth-Western Stoneware but I couldn't confirm it on google or in my Monmouth book. Sorry!
