A gigantic and rare copper pot/saucepan of exceptional size, a true piece of industrial and culinary archaeology. The object is estimated to be vintage (likely mid-20th century or earlier) and reflects its use in large professional kitchens or farmhouses.
the pot is distinguished by its sturdiness and historical markings:
material: made of heavy copper, with the exterior featuring a classic antique patina and signs of use. The engraved word "purissimo" suggests the high-quality copper used.
marking: engraved on the base with the initials "f.p.r. Purissimo" (possibly a reference to a foundry or factory specializing in copper processing).
construction: solid body with a reinforcing band and very sturdy metal handles/hooks with a lifting handle.
function: originally used for boiling, making preserves, jams, or dairy products in large quantities. Today, it is a visually striking piece for furnishing.
condition: the condition is typical of an antique/vintage object, well-used, with patina, dents, and signs of wear that enhance its charm and authenticity.
ideal as a decorative statement piece for restaurants, lofts, and large rustic kitchens, or as a striking indoor/outdoor planter (drainage holes required if used as a planter).

age: vintage (estimated mid-1900s or earlier)
materials: heavy copper

dimensions (approximately):
maximum diameter (edge): 90 cm
