Unknown pot and maker

I recently received a large and very heavy flower pot. The family story is that this item was from the 1876 Philadelphia Worlds Fair. The pot had a pedestal at one time but was broken. The pot is green and brown glaze and has the Liberty Bell on one side and Independence Hall on the other. The shape of the pot reminds me of a drum. Anyone know anything about the maker of this pot or the value. There's no mark on the bottom of the pot that we can find.
Thanks. Pattie
