An impressive C19th French cooking pot, likely a rare variation of the traditional daubière. Fitted with a wrought iron handle, the piece appears to be primarily brass with copper elements. Most daubières were designed as rectangular or oval copper pans with tight-fitting lids for slow braising dishes such as daube. This example is unusual in featuring a spout, suggesting it was adapted for specific kitchen tasks such as draining liquids during cooking.
 
A striking and highly decorative piece of French culinary history, substantial in scale and full of rustic character.
