This is an exceptional example of a late 19th-century collector's miniature copper saucepan. Despite its diminutive scale, it is constructed with professional-grade materials, featuring a heavy 2mm thick copper rim and a brass handle.
​The piece is defined by its traditional rat-tail handle join, secured by two robust, hand-hammered copper rivets. The interior shows the authentic peening of the rivets, a mark of true craftsmanship typical of an apprentice piece or a high-end Victorian cabinet miniature. The base shows honest wear with historical dints and a rich, unpolished patina that includes genuine verdigris around the fittings.
​Dimensions: 5 x 9 x 3cm
​
​This piece is perfectly suited for collectors of authentic antique kitchenalia or those looking to add a touch of French Country or Rustic Farmhouse charm to a display. Given its high-quality construction and historical character, it would be an ideal addition to a curated shelf display or a serious collection of metalware miniatures.
​Circa: 1880–1900
