This professional French copper daubiere represents traditional Parisian cookware craftsmanship from the renowned Altier workshop. The substantial stock pot demonstrates the metalworking expertise that established French copper cookware as the standard for serious cooking, featuring authentic dovetailed construction throughout.
The copper body displays natural patina from age and use, with hand-forged joints visible at the seams. Solid brass handles attach with traditional riveted construction, providing contrast against the warm copper surface. The fitted lid includes a brass handle matching the side handles, completing the classic daubiere form with its characteristic rectangular shape.
Measuring 38cm x 22cm x 21cm (15" x 8.5" x 8.25") and weighing 9.25kg, this substantial piece shows normal signs of age and use consistent with vintage copper cookware. The generous capacity suits large-batch cooking, while the thick copper construction ensures even heat distribution. Minor surface wear and patina development enhance the authentic character of this traditional French piece.
This Altier daubiere serves both functional cooking needs and represents French culinary heritage, appealing to collectors of vintage copper cookware and professional chefs who appreciate traditional materials and construction methods.
