Purchased in Avignon about forty years ago at Jaffier-Parsi, the venerable cookware house at 42 rue des Fourbisseurs founded in 1902 and famed for traditional copper from Villedieu-les-Poêles, Normandy’s historic center of copper production, it carries the authority of a professional tool from a storied source that served chefs for more than a century before closing in 2017.\n\nHeavy-gauge copper gives it satisfying heft and quick, even heat, while the stainless-lined interior keeps it practical for everyday cooking, just as Patricia has used it until now. Three stout rivets secure a dark, pierced iron handle for hanging. The tapered walls, softly burnished to a warm coppery patina, speak to honest use. Patricia explains the taper is key to storage efficiency: “I love things that stack.” In service, it excels at soups, ragouts and grains. At rest, hang it by its handle or nest it on a kitchen étagère where its presence lends warmth and confidence to a working kitchen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 5½\" high x 19\" incl. handle x 9¾\" diameter  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 14cm high x 48cm incl. handle x 25cm diameter \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310826082642,"sku":"25202","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC09953_6fdc2545-1cec-4787-907d-953cd48ca73a.jpg?v=1787225309","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/large-french-copper-faitout-with-iron-handle-from-avignon","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
