Provincial Ware pot with lid #20, usage question

Question:
I found a beautiful Red Wing Provincial Ware pot with lid #20 at a thrift store and was excited to cook in it …until I noticed some very small cracks in the bottom (just along one side of the slight dome). The cracks are only visible on the outside bottom but do not affect the red brown glaze on the inside. My intention is to use this item for cooking by the method of soaking it in water, adding ingredients and starting it in a cold oven. Is this a bad idea? I can return it and continue hunting for more intact treasures. Please advise…or can I repair it?? Thanks. Christine

Red Wing Lotus Bronze dinnerware, stain removal

Question:
This is not an identification question, as I know the pieces I have recently inherited from my mother are the Red Wing Lotus Bronze dinnerware. My question is: how to clean them? These pieces were stored for many years in a basement then garage while wrapped in newspaper, and now the interiors of some have some kind of speckled, dark stains. Not sure if it’s a type of mold or some chemical discoloration. Any suggestions? Wash in white vinegar? Thank you, and glad to discover you today! Diane

Hi, This plate was my grandmothers, it measures 14 and a half inches across. The glaze is kinda shiny, and the back says "redwing pottery" and "hand painted".
