Vintage 1880s Small Rectangular French Lidded Copper Casserole dog pillow less-is-more approach common in ItalianThis vintage 1880s French lidded copper casserole captures the intimacy of everyday cooking in a nineteenth century home. Rectangular in form and scaled for the countertop, it is fitted with brass handles that glow against the mellowed copper body. Once a trusted vessel for baking and braising, it now carries a quiet elegance, equally at home as a decorative accent or as a keeper of kitchen essentials such as kitchen towels, onions, potatoes, or bread.
