It is solid copper, not iron or brass, which gives the whole piece this amazingly warm feeling. Finding a pan with a handle made entirely in copper is extraordinarily unique and gives this piece a quiet distinction immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique French copper pot likely dates from the late 18th to early 19th century, consistent with the hand-forged rivets, large irregular hammer marks, and pre-industrial construction. The form is simple and practical: it has straight sides rising from a flat base. The feeling is nice... like it has been made carefully by someone who knew exactly what what they were doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid copper handle is attached through a reinforced copper strap and secured with four hand-forged rivets. The irregularity of the rivets give it a lot of character. Inside, the old tinned lining remains in place, with darkening, verdigris, and signs of long use from what may be two centuries of working life in a French kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is not perfect, and that is part of the beauty. The hammer marks, aged tinning and the all-copper handle just work together to give this small pot a presence far beyond its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be beautiful hanging from a kitchen rail, sitting on an open shelf, or placed on a stove where the copper can catch the light. It has aged into the kind of beauty that speaks for itself. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503698239831,"sku":"COP-043","price":595.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-copper-preserving-pot-solid-copper-handle-tinned-interior-2.jpg?v=1778426353","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-preserving-pot-solid-copper-handle-tinned-interior","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
