Description

Massive copper pan made by one of the top silver smiths of the 19th century, Elkington and Co. Shown here with a normal size pan and kettle to give an idea of the scale of the thing! Elkington invented a method to apply a nickel lining to copper cookware and as a result they supplied most of the copper cookware as well as the silverware for the top hotels and passenger shipping lines of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This pan is stamped with the maker's name, a number which is the reference number found in the company brochure and it is stamped Red Star Line and Bakers. It is very heavy at 5kg and it is very large at 12" wide and 7" tall. This pan has been used of course and so it does carry dents and scratches from use. It has also has a leak so cannot be used for cooking without being repaired. The Red Star Line ran mostly from Antwerp, Southampton, Liverpool, Philadelphia and New York and is known to have carried many famous people, including several trips by Albert Einstein, at least some of whom must have eaten food made using this actual pan.

Date of Manufacture

The Fine Art Fund has dated this Antique Copper Saucepan to the Victorian era.

FAQs

Victorian copper cookware is characterised by heavy-gauge construction, hand-beaten surfaces, and dovetailed or riveted seams, often featuring sturdy iron or brass handles designed for commercial or domestic hearth use.

These items were predominantly constructed from heavy-gauge copper for superior thermal conductivity, featuring a hand-applied interior lining of tin to prevent copper toxicity during food preparation, paired with brass or iron handles.

Authenticity is typically verified by makers marks, stamped inventory numbers, heavy physical weight, irregular hand-beaten hammer marks, and period-appropriate joining techniques such as dovetailing or heavy riveting.

This piece can be displayed on a rustic wooden kitchen island, hung from a wrought-iron ceiling rack, or placed on a hearth to introduce warmth and historic character to contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves gentle cleaning with non-abrasive copper cleaners to maintain the desired level of patination, while ensuring the interior tin lining remains intact and uncompromised.
