VINTAGE No 8 Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Self Basting Lid and Bail Handle Attributed to Lodge

This vintage No. 8 cast-iron Dutch oven comes with a self-basting lid and a swing-up wire bail handle. It’s a substantial old pot that’s been cleaned and re-seasoned for more years in the kitchen.

✨ Why It’s Special

Flip the lid over and you’ll see a grid of little raised points. They give condensation a place to collect and drip back into the pot while dinner cooks. That pattern, along with the 10¼ and 8 markings under the lid, points to Lodge.

📦 What’s Included

You’ll receive the cast-iron Dutch oven with its attached wire bail handle and the cast-iron lid shown in the photos.

📏 Size & Details

The pot measures approximately 10½ inches across and 4 inches deep. The underside of the pot is marked 8, and the underside of the lid is marked 10¼ and 8.

💛 Condition

All the patina, none of the grime! This one took some serious scrubbing, especially around the lid and handle. I cleaned the pot and lid and re-seasoned the cast iron. You’ll still see some uneven coloration from age and use in the close-up photos.

🌿 Why You’ll Love It

This is the pot I’d pull out for a Sunday pot roast or a batch of beans that can simmer while you go about your day. You can brown the meat right in the pot, put the lid on, and let it finish in the oven. It’s got the heft you’d hope for in an old cast-iron Dutch oven.
