It is heavy cast iron, 20" long, about 10" wide, and about 10" thick. The person in the antique store told me this is a smelting pot. I researched it to be in fact a cannon ball coffee bean roaster. Probably blacksmith hand crafted. There is a sort crescent shaped pocket which could be fun, but it is so charming just as it is. At one time there was a hinged cover which I do not have. It is unique , charming and seriously cool !! and heavy!! Information is from research, the piece is not marked that I can see.
