This elegant set of three antique copper stockpots is a fine example of traditional French craftsmanship, combining functionality, durability, and timeless design.
Each pot is made of thick hammered copper, with riveted brass handles and a traditional tinned interior, reflecting the standards of professional and domestic French kitchens of the mid-20th century.
All three pieces bear the original stamped mark “CVD – Cuivre – Made in France”, a mark commonly associated with Villedieu-les-Poêles, the historic center of French copper production in Normandy, renowned for its dinandiers since the Middle Ages.
Graduated in size, the set forms a harmonious and visually striking ensemble, suitable both for culinary use (after verification of the tin lining if intended for cooking) and for decorative display in a refined interior.
