Description

An antique copper saucepan, with the famous Cockerel stamp to the right of the handle. The Cockerel stamp is commonly associated with the renown French copper cookware seller Dehillerin but it has a much lengthier history. The Cockerel stamp can be traced back to the coppersmith Charmois in 1871, before it was bought up by Lasiner in 1888 before it was acquired by Dehillerin in 1908. I've added several links below that provide additional information on the Cockerel stamp as well as the above mentioned names but regardless of who owned rights to the famous stamp, this copper saucepan is an antique piece of French copperware history! Outside of the Cockerel stamp, there are no other obvious manufacturer markings or stamps on this saucepan, although there is what appears to be a smaller rooster or Cockerel like stamp under the larger more prominent stamp. This could just be me seeing something that isn't there though. This copper saucepan also has a sturdy wrought iron handle, with three copper rivets, and a clean tin lining. Dimensions of this copper saucepan are: Diameter of 24cm or 9.5 inches Sidewall height of 15cm or 6 inches Length when including handle of 51cm or 20 inches Weight of 2.985kg or 6 pounds 9 ounces Copper thickness of 2.8mm near the rim This is a used item and it has seen some use! There are dings, scratches, and some dents but these are only cosmetic issues and help give this antique copper saucepan some character marks! https://www.vintagefrenchcopper.com/2020/07/scrollwork-handles-and-the-cockerel-stamp/ https://www.vintagefrenchcopper.com/2020/12/cockerel-redux/ https://www.vintagefrenchcopper.com/buyers-guide/field-guides/field-guide-to-dehillerin/
