Antique Mauviel Copper Soup & Ragout Pot
Antique Mauviel Copper Soup & Ragout Pot
A beautiful antique French copper soup and ragout pot by Mauviel, dating to the early 20th century. With its generous 4-liter capacity, elegant brass handles, and classic straight-sided silhouette, this is a wonderful piece for slow-simmered soups, hearty stews, braised meats, and French country cooking.
The substantial copper construction provides excellent heat responsiveness, while the warm brass handles and traditional proportions make this an equally lovely piece for serving at the table.
Maker & Period: Mauviel, France, circa 1900–1920, with traditional riveted brass handles.
Capacity: Approximately 4 liters, with a tin-lined interior.
Condition: Beautifully restored antique condition with polished copper, a clean tin-lined interior, and minor marks and irregularities consistent with age and use.
A timeless French kitchen classic, ready for another generation of cooking and gathering.
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.

For our U.S. customers, there's an important distinction between antique and vintage copper. Recent tariff changes can result in significant duties on French copper made after 1925. Genuine antique copper dating to 1925 or earlier, may meets the 100-year age threshold for antique classification and may qualify for duty-free entry. That's why we carefully document age and identify qualifying pieces as antiques on both the listing and customs forms. Final classification is determined by U.S. Customs. Our aim is clear documentation and a smooth arrival to your home.
