Sending photos I hope to identify this pot-can I use it on my gas stove

and last one with explanation
I found this long unused pot in my hubby's workshop. I believe it is what is called Stoneware or Pottery ware? By the looks of the bottom of the pot, it appears I did use it on my electric stove. I know it can be used in the oven, but wondering If I should use it on my gas stove?
I have no recall on cooking with it, so it must be a very long time ago. I love it and want to start using it again. Any info welcomed!

This may supply the answer. It seems that if the pot is glazed all over it may not
be flameproof.
The Spanish cazuelas are not glazed and do require seasoning.

The only thing I would caution is if is from Mexico the glazes tend to be unsafe lead content
Not from Mexico, I have never bought anything there. It is signed on the bottom
cannot make it out because of the dark circle as you see in the picture. I'm thinkingr from Gordons Pottery in Soulsbyville, Ca where I had all my dishes made by their potterer. Am trying to contact them so I can send the picture to see if it was theirs.

At least some pots are safe on gas burners
Although the title of this thread on eGullet references cooking on an electric burner you may find some of the information useful.
