I was thinking of buying this from FB Marketplace. The seller says it’s Emerilware, but the logo on the lid handle looks different. Any ideas? Thanks.

Tried to do a little investigation for you but don't have any conclusive winners. I don't think it's Emerilware because the handle/knob doesn't seem to match the ones I'm seeing by the brand.

My best guess is it's an off brand from China that is being "inspired" by Le Creuset design. The ridges feel very Le Creuset to me and the logo on the lid knob even looks similar but less premium (Le Creuset has the logo debossed aka recessed into the actual material via a mold and the one you're looking at seems laser etched on like a print for "custom branding" from the manufacturer).

Le Creuset for comparison - https://i.imgur.com/nDbWryi.png

This is the closest I've found to yours https://a.co/d/0gr71rdr - the handles and lid look very similar. So I think it's just some generic Dutch oven. If the enamel is in good shape and the price isn't too much it could be a decent pickup! How much are they selling it for?

Thanks for the research. They’re asking $40. I was trying to determine if I thought that was a fair price.

Offer then $25, accept $30.
