Thank you for viewing. This is an authentic copper casserole (saucepan) made in Villedieu, a town in France known for its copperware. It has excellent heat conductivity due to the classic combination of copper and tin, and is a cooking utensil that has been used for many years in professional settings. Features and Benefits: 【Professional-Grade Thickness and Heat Retention】 Made from a very thick copper plate, approximately 1.0 kg in weight for a diameter of 16 cm. This thickness not only allows heat to transfer evenly and quickly, but also exhibits high heat retention, making it difficult to cool down once heated. Ideal for cooking that requires delicate temperature control, such as sauces, jams, and small amounts of simmering. 【Classic Tin-Lined Specification】 The inside is a genuine specification lined with tin, which has excellent thermal conductivity. Because it accurately transmits the heat of the copper, the finish of the dish is significantly improved. 【Convenient Size】 With a diameter of 16 cm and a height of 9 cm, it is compact yet deep, making it easy to use for small-batch cooking, side dishes, and making single servings of soup. Size Details: Diameter (outer): Approximately 16 cm Height (depth): Approximately 9 cm Weight: Approximately 1.0 kg Engraving: VILLEDIEU FRANCE Condition and Notes (Important): Usage Frequency: Used for a long time, but in good condition due to maintenance. Inside (Tin): Due to years of use, the tin plating on the inside has peeled off in some areas, exposing the copper. The areas where the tin has peeled off show the copper base. For safe use, please consider having the tin plating reapplied (re-tinning) by a professional after purchase. Outside (Copper): Copper-specific discoloration (dulling) and scratches from use are visible. Handle: The iron handle shows discoloration, rust, and uneven color due to use.
