Antique French copper stockpot with lid – Rondeau

♥ DESCRIPTION: Experience culinary delight with this exceptional vintage copper cooking pot, known as a “marmite” in France. Crafted to perfection, this substantial piece comes with its lid and boasts two elegantly riveted handles. It bears the stamp of the initials “BM” and the number 24, corresponding to its diameter. While time has bestowed a beautiful aged patina on the interior, transforming it into a canvas of character, this marmite is ready to be rekindled for culinary creations; it will require re-tinning for use. Its generous size and weight make it ideal for crafting hearty stews, rich sauces, and, of course, perfect for crafting delicious soups that warm both body and soul. ♥ CONDITION: In excellent vintage condition, it wears the marks of its age like a badge of honor – a few spots and tiny scratches. A small hint of missing copper, reminiscent of stories told, graces the lid’s resting place. A minor dent along the rim of the lid hints at its journey through time (view photos for details). ♥ DIMENSIONS: 24 x 27.5 cm (Diameter excluding handles x Height) ♥ WEIGHT: 8.7 lbs (3.95 kg) ♥ THICKNESS: approx. 1 mm (about 0.04″)
