This is a rustic 19th-century French copper marmite or cooking pot, complete with a lid and elevated on three iron legs. Handcrafted from copper, the piece showcases a weathered patina with verdigris accents, reflecting years of use. The riveted side handles and feet, made from iron, show signs of age with a rusted finish, adding to its authentic charm. The lid features a simple handle for easy lifting, while the raised base allowed for cooking directly over an open fire. This piece would make a striking decorative accent in a kitchen or country house style interior.
