Professional French Copper Saucepan Set - La Case du Planteur
Professional French Copper Saucepan Set - La Case du Planteur
A beautiful collection of five graduated French copper saucepans, dating to the early 1900s. Made for professional kitchens, these substantial pans offer exceptional heat responsiveness for sauces, reductions, and everyday cooking.
There is something particularly charming about the original La Case du Planteur stamps, connecting these pans to their earlier life as part of a chef’s personal collection.
Construction: Heavy 3 mm solid copper with traditional riveted iron handles and tin-lined interiors.
Dimensions: Five graduated sizes — 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 cm in diameter, with capacities ranging from approximately 750 ml to 3.5 liters.
Condition: Beautifully restored antique copper with polished exteriors and the expected signs of age and use. Each pan bears the original La Case du Planteur stamp.
A complete professional set like this is becoming increasingly difficult to find—especially one that has remained together through its working life. Whether displayed on a pot rack or used every day, these are heirloom-quality pieces that represent the very best of traditional French copper cookware.
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.
