Guys I recently dug a pot with red writting on it that says JULES HAUEL No 120 CHESTNUT STREET PHILADELPHIA . No lid with it . Is this worth anything ? I had it in my back yard for about a month till I saw this site. I can put pics on if it is worth it.

I'll start here.

"Jules Hauel began business in the same city in 1839 with a vegetable hair dye and fancy soaps he created at his perfume factory. Hauel grew the business rapidly. In 1851, he built a $70,000 establishment at 170 Chestnut, several doors down from his earlier place of business at 120 Chestnut St. He put up his bear’s grease in highly decorated ceramic pots. He eventually expanded his product line to become the most prolific user of transfer printed wares in the United States."
