This French copper bain marie comprises three elements: a cylindrical outer copper pot, a white porcelain insert that sits within it, and a copper lid with a brass acorn-shaped knob. The long cast brass handles are riveted to both the outer pot and the porcelain insert, a construction detail typical of professional French cookware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer body is hammered copper with a warm rose tone, polished and showing age-appropriate patina and minor surface marks consistent with use. The porcelain insert is glazed white on the interior and exterior, with a thick rolled rim that rests on the copper pot's upper edge. The interior of the porcelain shows light staining and age spotting, normal for a piece of this era. The copper lid fits over the porcelain insert and features a rolled rim and a central brass knob. The seller notes the lid edges are not perfect, with small dents visible along the rim, as clearly seen in the close-up photos. These are minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer copper pot measures approximately 13cm diameter by 16.5cm height (5.1\" x 6.5\"). Total assembled height including lid is approximately 22cm (8.7\"). These dimensions are consistent with a professional single-serving or small-batch bain marie used for sauces, chocolate, or custards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA functional and display-worthy piece for collectors of French copper cookware or professional kitchen antiques. The porcelain insert makes this particularly suited for use as a decorative planter or desk organizer, given the food-safe concerns around unlined copper.\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":58005976777048,"sku":"2,24633E+11_FAF9_9025_9B95_D_61E","price":257.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_e4134c9e-1375-4035-b84b-85d3dae6dbba.jpg?v=1787163191","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/vintage-french-copper-bain-marie-1908263","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
