I found this large round iron pot with an outside blue glaze and a white glaze on the inside. Found in a well that I'm excavating in my basement. House built in 1800. Oldest object found in the well so far dates to 1884. I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything like it and how old it is.

Your pot is Blue Granite wear made from the 1870's to around WWII.
It is reproduced now in many forms from cups to pots.
Excerpt from Kovels...
Graniteware is enameled tin or iron used to make kitchen utensils since the 1870s. Early graniteware was green or turquoise blue with white. In about 1900, graniteware was usually gray with white spatters. Most collectors hunt for graniteware pots and pans manufactured before 1900. New pieces are made today. Reproductions have been made in all colors. There is a second definition of the word graniteware, meaning a blue speckled pottery.
