I knew an elderly couple who had one like that and it was part of a card game call beans in a pot. Never played it but they used to get into some heated exchanges over it.[]

The Boston Baked Beans come in both ceramic and plastic containers. Although the new ceramic pots are larger about 3" high by 3" wide.
