Antique Two-Handled Brass/Copper Lidded Pot

Antique two-handled lidded pot in brass and copper with a tin-lined interior, cast loop side handles and a domed lid with a strap handle. A small rustic cooking and serving vessel of the kind that lived on a hearth rather than in a cabinet.

Tin-lined copper and brass cookware has become one of the most reliable decorative categories in French country interiors, and this size is the useful one: big enough to read on an open shelf, small enough to hold utensils, dried flowers, or nothing at all.
