I have one my great uncle gave to my mother in the 1970′s. It’s probably a line he carried in his store in California from the 40′s to the 60′s. It’s a cherry flame (red graduated to orange) small round Dutch oven with a gray interior. The bottom of the pot has the Descoware (in cursive) with made in Belgium (in all caps) enameled in black. Stamped on the bottom in the iron itself (before glaze was applied) is the FE 20 6. The lid has 3 ridges encircling the cast iron handle in the center FE above the handle & No 6 below the handle is raised in the iron casting before glazing. There is another, slightly higher ridge near the outside rim of the lid which roughly corresponds to where the lip starts on the underside. In all caps MADE IN BELGIUM is stamped into the enameling in the center inside of the lid. I believe this may have been one of the earliest pieces imported from the factory in Belgium, circa 1952 – late 1950′s

I was hoping to find out more about it but no one seems to have one like it on any of the sites. It’s kind of fun having a vintage piece that has passed down to me through my family. Enjoy cooking in yours!
