A compact French stockpot from the 1860s, made for smaller preparations where control and attention mattered. The form is balanced and purposeful, with a fitted lid that completes the silhouette.

Brass handles are set to either side and echoed on the lid, offering both utility and a refined contrast to the copper body. Their mellow tone reflects years of handling, adding depth without excess.

The surface carries a time shaped patina, while the structure remains sound and usable. An intimate scale piece that brings a sense of history and intention into everyday cooking.
