Vintage Le Creuset Cousances Doufeu Casserole, Cast Iron Doufeu Stockpot (B3)

This is a Cousances (Le Creuset) cast iron doufeu casserole stockpot. These doufeu pots are designed with a lid that you place ice cubes or cold water on. The little pimples in the lid allow the moisture to be directed back into the food to keep it tender. This cast iron pot was bought from a French brocante market and is a used item in a used vintage condition with signs of age as you would expect from an older item and as shown in the photos which form part of the description. Cousances was a French cookware manufacturer, known for enamelled cast iron pans. The Cousances foundry in north eastern France began making cast iron pans in 1553; four centuries later, by then an international company, it was acquired by Le Creuset in 1957. Cookware under the Cousances brand continued to be manufactured by Le Creuset into the early 1980s. This is an old example which pre dates the Le Creuset takeover as it still has the original AC makers mark which stood for Andre Cousances. Please bear in mind that this pan is over 65 years old so will show some signs of its age. All the items I sell are used or vintage and will show signs of a previous life. This is all part of their unique shabby chic appeal. Please see pictures which form part of the description.
