Large Antique French Hammered Copper Jam Pan – Brass Handles – Presenting a magnificent, authentic antique copper jam basin (traditionally known as a bassine à confiture), French origin. This professional-grade vessel is a superb example of traditional coppersmithing, perfect for both culinary use and as a high-end decorative piece for a rustic or farmhouse-style kitchen. Material: Crafted from heavy-gauge, solid hammered copper with a beautiful warm patina. Handles: Equipped with two robust, ornate brass handles, each secured by three large, solid copper rivets, ensuring extreme durability. Unlined Interior: The interior is pure, unlined copper. This is highly prized by chefs for making jams and preserves, as the copper reacts naturally with fruit pectin to help the mixture set faster while preserving the vibrant color of the fruit. Dimensions: 19 cm × 46 cm Diameter : 38 cm Condition: In excellent vintage condition with an honest patina of age. It shows minor, expected signs of use and small dints that enhance its authentic character. No cracks or structural damage. Usage: While ideal for jams and sweets, its shape and material also make it perfect as a "cul de poule" for whisking egg whites or as a stunning centerpiece for displaying fruits or dried flowers.
