Hi, I have had this Bean Pot for at least 30 years and used it maybe one or two times. I just thought it was very pretty. It has been in a cupboard for at least 25 years and I am looking for a new home for it. Please look at all the pictures. It does not have any cracks in it or chips. Please look at the picture on the bottom of the pot. It looks like it was made that way. I don't think it was a chip. Also, on the bottom front of one side are two areas that look like they didn't get the dark glaze. It does feel like there is a glaze over them and not chips. Please look, and have a good day!
