This early copper stock pot has been hand beaten into shape with the castellations or 'dovetails' up the side and base of the pot being hand cut. Early in the sense that later castellations were machine cut and the copper for the job was 'rolled' into a smooth sheet. It is in a very good condition and has a respectable weight of 5.7 Kilos. The body is mounted with two cast brass handles and the lid has a broad strap handle. There is a slight rock to the base. All in all a very nice and early hand made pot to own.
