Kitchen container - Copper - Large Turbot / Fish

Magnificent and rare ancient turbotière in solid red copper, dating from the mid-19th century (Napoleon III era). This high‑quality piece is an exceptional testament to the craft of French boilermakers before the industrial era.
Points of interest for collectors:
• "Dents de Loup" Assembly: Remarkable period technique consisting of interlocking copper sheets with dovetail notches, followed by a strong brass brazing. An extremely sought-after manufacturing detail because it guarantees the object's age and artisanal authenticity.
• Original mark: Cold-stamped number "40" on the rim, indicating the size (40 cm) and aiding inventory in the kitchens of large bourgeois houses or castles.
• Robust construction: Thick copper with a weight of 1.9 kg, which is rare for this size.
• Authentic details: Copper/brass ring handles fixed by hand-flattened solid rivets.
