There’s a certain poetry in old French copper, and this piece captures it perfectly.
Crafted in Villedieu-les-Poêles, the Norman village whose coppersmiths have supplied French kitchens since the Middle Ages, this L. Lecellier casserole bears the maker’s Modèle Déposé mark — a seal of traditional craftsmanship.

Heavy-gauge copper and hand-riveted brass handles give this pot a beautiful balance of form and function. The warm rose-gold glow of the copper contrasts with the soft silvery tin lining inside, still intact and ready for gentle use or display.
Whether you hang it from a brass rail or let it rest on your range, it brings an instant sense of authenticity — the kind of quiet luxury only real French cookware possesses.

Perfect for slow simmered sauces or rustic gratins, and even better as the star of your kitchen wall.

Handle to handle 10.4", 6" high, 4" wide
