This is a masterclass in copper manufacture from the 19th century, this is where the modern pans started, this is a rare and special saute.

Unstamped, 1.8mm around the rim, 2.3mm base, new hand wiped tin, new shine, great patina, very heavy for it's size. A beautiful old saute that is showing it's age!

1. Round proud copper rivets
2. Hammering stretch marks on the body
3. Full, heavy hilt, forged iron handle
4. Double base bevels

The tin is new, thick and hand wiped by our etameur - 100% food safe tin, there are the tell-tale swirls of the artisan process.

This has been the mainstay of a Restaurant Kitchen and it shows. I am not sure of any other item in the kitchen were you can still use something that is truly antique, we estimate early to mid 1800s, could tell so many stories and still be completely functional and beautiful.

The first time you use this pan you will know it will never let you down. If you want a signature pan in your kitchen, the item that says who you are - this is it.

This is all solid copper - the handle is forged iron - real traditional quality.

There is pitting all over the handle, there surface scratches scratches and edge wear, it sits flat, there is a a slight undulation in the base, there are many dinks and indentations on the base. All these badges of honour add and not detract from the visual impact of the piece.

Now that it has been refurbished it is ready for another lifetime's work. This is a very special and desirable pot.

It weighs 1.76 kilos 3 lbs 14.2ozs.
It is 22.5cm across 8 3/4 inches
and 6cm high 2 3/8 inches approximately
1.8mm rim 2.3mm Base
