Quality, French Copper Casserole

Code: H21080

A good quality, French copper, rectangular casserole. This is marked, to both the side of the casserole and also to the lid, with the letters “A O”. These were probably the initials of a previous owner. To the base it has the manufacturers mark “FABRIQUE DE CHAUDRONNIERE REGNIOUD RUE S. FOY** PARIS”. A couple of the letters in the address are indiscernible due to wear. This is the mark of a boiler maker who would also have made some copper cookware. It is well made, from a very heavy gauge of copper, and it has castellated seams around the base and up the side. There are attractively shaped brass handles to both ends of the casserole and also to the lid. It dates from c.1870 and it is in excellent condition. The interior has been re-tinned so that it can be used.

Dimensions: Length of pan 36cm. Width of pan 20cm. Depth of pan 19cm. Overall length including handles 48.5cm. Overall height including handles 22cm.
