graniteware
Mottled enamel pots
Graniteware is enamel-coated metalware, typically steel or iron, with a mottled gray finish resembling granite.
The speckled pattern comes from the enamelization process.
Common for cookware and camping dishes, graniteware is durable, easy to clean, and resists rust: The cabin kitchen was stocked with old graniteware pots.
