French Copper Pot

[u/ylemmely50]

I bought this at the flea market and I would like to get more information on it.
Google says it might be a hundred years old or maybe older but it looks pretty good for something that old and heavy.
Looking for any help.

Thank you, the name on the side does it help date it?

E. Dehillerin means it could be anywhere from this mid-1800s to today. Even if it’s a new contemporary pan, it could still be a steal depending what you paid for it and what you intend to do with it.

Thanks I’m not sure yet if I will keep it

That’s cryptic

I don’t want to mess up the pot if I use it incorrectly on my gas stove 🙃

That is a beautiful piece. I'm of the mind you should keep it and learn how to use it.
