Antique Handmade Copper 7. 25 Qt. " CROWN C " SAUCE POT W/Iron Handle, Dovetailing
Item History & Price
Description of item...Here we have a wonderful antique quality handmade large copper SAUCE PAN/POT with dovetailing, tin lining and a cast iron handle along with a "CROWN symbol ~ C" (photo #7) marked on the side by handle (believed to be English in manufacture made by Jones Bros. Down St. W., see NOTE.) It measures approx. 9 1/2" in diameter (add 11" for the thick iron ha...ndle) x 6" side high (deep), can hold up to 7 1/4 quarts. It is in good maintained (used) condition commensurate with its age currently showing normal use, aged tin lining and aged copper patina (has not been polished since acquired.) Dovetailing on the side by the handle and bottom of pot, iron handle is triple copper riveted - strong and sturdy. [NOTE: Crown symbol possibly indicates the rank of peer (Royal Family) and the "C" possibly indicates what chefs pot it belonged to in a busy kitchen as well as who to return it to after it was sent out to be re-tinned...all a supposition, info pulled from internet.] Came from a private home collection of many years, however the exact age is unknown. This item weighs approx. 7 lbs., add 3 1/2 lbs. or so for the packing box and packing material. Payment and shipping...NOTE: I will be revising, adding and/or changing my SHIPPING INFORMATION as eBay and the Post Office revise or change their information to better serve you. I will use USPS FLAT RATE boxes when I find it cheaper to use than regular USPS Priority Mail boxes or other generic boxes. INTERNATIONAL WINNERS - Please wait for the Invoice to be sent to you by me, and I will use USPS International Rates (AIR only, no more SURFACE shipping by USPS - discontinued.) I will be using UPS for shipping heavier items (usually over 5 lbs., cheaper than USPS rates - or larger boxes over 12" long/36" in total circumference - to US only.) My short and simple auction "philosophy"...To ALL: THANK YOU for looking, and if time permits, check out my other auctions for more interesting, unusual and unique items. I will pack the item to withstand just about anything it might encounter on its way to you, ship quickly and am always glad to combine items for you. If you have any questions, just ask.
