Blue & White Enamelware Pot & Lid - Dating Help

Hello,

Is this antique or reproduction?

Thanks!

 

Nice, but I don't see any wear at all. Is there anything that gives the impression it has been used? Can we see the inside?

 

@realityspace , It would appear it could be old or new ....seems they are still made . Is there any wear on the bottom or rust anywhere ? Have a look here on google ....

Looks like a newer manufacture. I don't see any rivets holding the handles on either. Older ones would more than likely be riveted I think. Quite a lot of the new stuff is coming from China (like lots of things)

 

Thank you for your responses! This was filthy when I found it. It cleaned up so well, I figured it probably wasn't too old. There are no rivets on the handles; the underside of the lid is smooth. The inside is immaculate and there are a few chips along the rim of the lid and one on the bottom of the pan. No discernible stains except a bit of buildup (possibly rust but probably just more grease I need to clean!) around the handles.

Hope that is helpful. Thanks!

 

Also, the metal handle is flush with the lid. Another thing that made me think it might be newer is the measurement: Exactly 8" inside diameter. It's 3-1/2" high.
