Mauviel Copper Steamer
Mauviel Copper Steamer
A rare and beautifully restored vintage copper potato steamer made by Mauviel in Normandy. Designed for stovetop steaming—simply add water to the rounded base, drop in cleaned whole or chopped vegetables, and cover with the domed lid. The interior steams efficiently while the exterior reflects the classic beauty of French copper.
This piece holds approximately 1 kilo of small potatoes and is equally suited to steaming haricots verts, broccoli, or cauliflower. Built for function but stunning in form, it’s a rare find outside France. Vintage versions are nearly impossible to source, and new models—available only within France or at E. Dehillerin in Paris—retail for $450–$500.
Restored here on the farm and ready for a second life in the kitchen or as a standout in your copper collection.

Why we love this…
With the exceptional ability to conduct heat efficiently, copper cookware promotes precision and excellence in cooking. Traditional tin lined interiors are virtually non-stick when used correctly. Cooking with copper is the best option for everything from sauces to slowly cooked stews, braising and oven gratins. It is unbeatable for confiture and pastry making.
