Oval copper vessels of this form were a cornerstone of the professional French kitchen from the mid-nineteenth century onward, used in bourgeois households and restaurant brigades alike for long braises, whole roasts and court-bouillons. The exterior copper has been polished to a warm, glowing tone, while the brass side handles and the riveted bridge handle on the lid carry an aged golden patina that speaks to genuine use over many decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid fits snugly and is stamped with the size number 30, a classic French trade marking indicating the pan's nominal length -- a detail that points to professional or high-end domestic manufacture. The rounded rectangular form with softly chamfered corners is both handsome and practical, and the piece displays the satisfying weight and wall thickness of old-stock copper work. Displayed on a kitchen shelf, a farmhouse dresser or an open rack, it reads as a confident, quietly warm accent. The interior retains its original tin lining, now well darkened with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The interior tin lining shows heavy darkening, oxidation and light surface wear consistent with long culinary use; the exterior copper and brass hardware are structurally sound with no dents of concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements are approx. 11.8 in long x 7.1 in wide x 6.5 in high (30 x 18 x 16.5 cm), with a copper wall thickness of approx. 0.6 in (1.5 mm). Weight of the body alone (without lid or handles) is 3.9 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58785678786904,"sku":"FMF-JQNWZ2Z3","price":428.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/7bd1e93c8657ccc7e3d4ab4ef740f068.jpg?v=1791967354","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-oval-roasting-pan-14102614","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
