never ever even HEARD of anything like that much less seen it on a pot, WAY WAY AWESOME FIND. Do you know the maker or are there any ID marks on it. totally kool
 
It is obviously a "bean pot" :thumbsup: I am totally impressed. :thumbsup: Can't possibly forget the recipe.
 
Excellent. How about a picture of the whole pot? And, where on the pot is the recipe?

It has to be on the underside of the lid. If it were on the bottom you would constantly be pouring your beans out to read the recipe.
Unlike some boots whose instructions are on the bottom.
 
Gotta wonder just how old that pot is. I have a few old cookbooks and even until the 1840's they would say a "tea cup" of this or a lump of X the size of a hens egg. The measurements for the recipe just seem to modern & standardized to be more than 150 years old.

I am gonna guess that the pot is from the late 1800's
