This is one terrific stoneware set, vintage age and in excellent condition. West Bend called this a bean pot or patio server set.

The stoneware cook pot stands 5 1/4 inches tall exclusive of the lid and has a 4 1/2 interior depth. The eared handle cups are 2 3/4 inches tall and measure 3 inches across the top opening. The warming unit works well, and is marked with the West Bend, Heat Rite name.
All the pieces have a white background with a decoration of measuring spoons and barbecue fork, done in brown, yellow and black color tones. The only issues of less than perfect condition occurred during the manufacturing process. We note some variations of the slip to the underside of the lid and one of the bowls has what appears to be a dash of brown color that strayed away from the utensil decoration when it was painted.
If you have been searching for a bean, soup, chili or just all-around functional stoneware pot, this one fits the bill. The addition of the warmer unit makes it patio and outside deck perfect. A vintage first slow cooker and four bowls to fill with whatever hearty, stick-to-your-ribs food you decide to create. Each piece has the West Bend, USA name in raised lettering under the base.
This is a heavy set, weighing over 8 pounds before packaging. |
