Looking to find out all I can about this piece

[Jody M.]

I’ve looked and found cauldrons and other pots but have not found one with this lid any help would be greatly appreciated

In mid-1800s Savery catalogs as deep spider with cover. The flanged lid to hold hot coals for both top and bottom heating. Made in 8 thru 14 inch with size designations 1, 1½, 2, 2½ and so on.

Great score, Jody.

Thanks I’m pretty sure that it’s not the matching bottom so would this be the matching bottom if not I’m ok with it
