Forget that copper is the most efficient conductor of heat, that it cooks your food beautifully and uniformly -- that it’s built to last and gorgeous enough to leave out on your kitchen counter. It’s much more exciting to wonder what its story is: which late 19th century stove did it grace, or was it owned by royalty? With each special vintage copper piece sourced from Coppermill Kitchen exclusively for Food52, you can. Let’s see your stainless steel do that.  

French Sauté Pans
These French-designed sauté pans are from the late 19th century, and are made from thick, heavy vintage copper. Hold their iron handles, fastened with copper rivets, and channel Julia Child while you flip your omelettes.

British "Benham and Froud" Crepe Pans
A classic and collectible British design from the historic maker Benham and Froud and a sturdy, wrought iron handle make these crepe pans timeless pieces. Cook with a special, near-extinct kitchen heirloom -- the last of these pans were produced around 1880 and are highly sought-after pieces.

British Sauce Pots with Original Lids
Workmanship is key with these copper sauce pots: hand-cut dovetailed seams hold them together, while rolled copper rivets accent each handle. You’ll be warming your stock, or your soup, in both a reliable kitchen workhorse and a work of art alike.
