Description
A magnificent French copper oval casserole, beautifully crafted. Stamped “SOMV — Made in France”, this substantial piece blends the elegance of traditional French design with the practicality of professional-grade cookware.
Measuring 10.5" long x 6" wide x 4" deep, this pan features a rolled rim, brass handles and knob, and a tin-lined interior in excellent vintage condition — ready for light kitchen use or handsome display. The oval form is perfect for roasting chicken, gratins, or slow-braised vegetables, distributing heat evenly and retaining it beautifully.
This is a piece that glows both literally and figuratively: the warmth of polished copper, the charm of French artisanal heritage, and the quiet confidence of an object made to last for generations.
