Vintage French Copper Oval Fish Frying Pan with Brand New Tin Lining 26cm (C39)

This stunning Vintage French Copper frying pan in an unusual oval shape specifically for frying fish. This is made from quality 1mm thick solid copper and has now been refurbished with traditional hand wiped, brand new tin lining. A pan this size would cost around £60 to be re tinned. This French vintage copper pot has a polished finish and chunky copper rivets securing the solid brass handle. It weighs 0.7kg and is in good condition as shown in the pictures. The Made in France stamp is on the side. This has a flat base and traditional hand wiped tin lining; You will be the very first person to cook on this lining giving this little pot a "new to you feel" whilst still embracing the quality that only comes with buying truly vintage pans, not modern reproductions. Hand wiped tin lining is a traditional centuries old method of re tinning copper pans. This method is time consuming but worth the end result. It is not modern electroplated lining and is not meant to look like a completely smooth factory finished piece. Historically, in France chefs and everyday cooks would have a pan re tinned over the course of its life rather than buy a new one, effectively giving it a new lease of life each time. Copper is an excellent conductor giving an even distribution of heat in a pan, as such, even today it is still favoured by professional chefs around the world. Ideal for use on electric or gas stoves, this saucepan offers both style and practicality for your kitchen. Like all our stock, this was bought at a French brocante market in the north of France and has been refurbished with pure food grade tin ensuring quality and safety. This pan is ready to use straight away and requires no preparation. 
All the items we sell are used or vintage and will show signs of a previous life. This is part of their unique French shabby chic appeal.
