Warm polished copper, aged brass and turned wood give this vintage Portuguese saucepan beautiful old-world kitchen character. Made by Tagus in Portugal, it is an especially attractive piece for displaying with a collection of vintage copper cookware.
The rounded copper body has a softly bulbous profile complemented by a fitted copper lid. A turned wooden handle extends from a brass mount at the side, while the lid is finished with a matching dark wood knob. The combination of materials gives the piece a wonderfully warm, collected appearance.
Recently polished, the exterior copper has regained a beautiful rosy shine while retaining the subtle marks and variations expected from decades of age and use. The brass fitting and wooden elements provide a rich contrast against the copper.
The original interior lining has worn significantly with use and areas of copper are now exposed. For this reason, the saucepan is recommended for decorative purposes only rather than food preparation. Display it on open kitchen shelving, hang it with a collection of vintage copper pans, or incorporate it into a rustic, European-inspired or French country kitchen.
The underside is clearly stamped TAGUS MADE IN PORTUGAL.
