From Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this copper pan with fitted lid would have been used for slow, controlled cooking - most often for confits, preserves, or sauces that needed to reduce gently over heat. The wide, shallow form allows for even evaporation, while the tight-fitting lid helps regulate moisture when needed. The long, forged iron handles are shaped to be moved easily between fire and work surface, a detail typical of pieces made for daily use rather than display. Sylvie loves it left out on the stove or shelf, exactly where it would have lived.
