Fruit Pie Oven. This pot would only be about 10" at its widest point.

That would have to be the smallest oval cast iron boiling pot I've seen.

It wouldnt be a pie oven I think. You need coals on a lid for browning a pie and that lid is not designed for coals. These were mainly for stews and soups but also were used for preserves pickles and jams.

Kingsthorpe David has one of these he got sent over from Ireland. It is a new replica with a cast iron lid.

Neat little pot.

Yep, can see that. Just saying David's had a cast iron lid but it was a replica.

Check out this photo. It is hanging on the wall of the old Hammond & Wheatley Emporium in Bellengen, NSW which is now a clothes store. The photo is believed to been taken in 1924 and shows what looks like a stack of them on the floor.
