A substantial 19th century Parisian brass pan of impressive scale, with a rolled rim reinforced by a hand-forged iron band.

Traditionally used for jam and preserve making — from a former jam premises — its broad, open form allowed for steady reduction over heat. The iron strengthening band speaks to repeated commercial use, within a professional kitchen setting.

The surface has developed a rich, deep patina with areas of verdigris and darkening entirely consistent with age and purpose.

An evocative piece of French culinary history, now equally effective as a log basket, a statement piece within your kitchen or a dramatic planter or for large-scale floral displays.
