Vase - Copper, Brass

Large Antique French Copper Jam Pan (Bassine à Confiture) - 19th Century

An authentic, heavy-gauge antique French copper jam preserving pan (bassine à confiture), dating back to the 19th century. This traditional culinary vessel features a beautiful hand-crafted copper body paired with two robust, solid brass handles.

The handles are securely fastened to the rim with three heavy-duty copper rivets on each side, ensuring structural integrity. The bowl is completely un-lined (bare copper), which is the classic design required for traditional jam and confectionery making, as the bare metal interacts perfectly with fruit acids to preserve vibrant colors and textures.

The exterior displays a magnificent, authentic aged patina with historic water lines, minor dings, and surface marks that recount its long history in a traditional European kitchen. The interior shows natural oxidation and wear consistent with age and usage. A superb collector's item or a standout rustic decorative piece for a modern or country-style kitchen.
