Came across a flower pot at the market this moring, decided I could turn it into a stew pot.

Branded A. Kenrick & Sons, think it says 2 Quarts.

Any one have history on these

Just be carful taking that paint of mate, it could be lead based make sure you ware the right mask, it should clean up ok post some pics when your done 

Its interesting in respect of the bail arm, only pivots towards the poring spout and not the tipping handle

If it was a jam pan as Im pretty sure it is, most households of times gone by would have had one, well any one who made jam would own one anyway. They were made wide and shallow to aid in evaporating off the excess moisture from the jam and probably chutneys, that sort of thing.
