This antique French copper stock pot is a substantial piece, made from hand-formed copper sheet with cast brass handles, following the construction methods standard in French professional cookware production of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is cylindrical and deep, with straight sides and a flat base. The copper retains a warm, polished surface with the natural patina and minor surface marks consistent with age and genuine use. Two cast brass side handles are riveted directly to the body using a broad three-rivet plate mount, a detail typical of French professional-grade copper cookware. A matching copper lid with a cast brass bar handle, secured by two riveted feet, accompanies the pot. The lid fits flush to the rim. A stamped number -- appearing to read \"44\" -- is visible on the upper body near one handle, likely a kitchen inventory or workshop mark. The interior shows solder joins at the seam. Some darkening is visible at the lid rim junction, consistent with heat use over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot measures 24.5cm in diameter and 24.5cm in height (9.6\" x 9.6\"), with a wall thickness of approximately 1mm. Total weight is 3.9kg, reflecting the solid gauge of the copper used. These proportions place it firmly in the mid-to-large professional range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pot of this scale and construction has genuine appeal for display in a kitchen, as a wine cooler or ice bucket, or as part of a collection of antique French copper cookware. The stamped mark adds a point of provenance interest for collectors.\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-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57740739871064,"sku":"224643778283_96FC_1724_AC17","price":418.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_420eb3ed-4e1f-4472-81a8-8153820b4f74.jpg?v=1784393069","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-stock-pot-large-18072614","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
