Hi everyone. I decided to sell this bad boy. It may not be for everyone, but I imagine it's as much of a unicorn as some of the knives here.
For sale: Vintage Silver Plated Copper Saute Pan
As you all know. no one makes pans this thick anymore. I think they stopped in the 90's.
This has 1 tag and I couldn't find much about it, short of 1 store in Nice, France closing in the late 90s...
I am confident that it's a Mauviel pan made in the 80's for restaurants (I seen several of their catalogs from that era and they didn't offer anything in this size for home users). Someone said it's maybe a gaillard, but I doubt it...
Specs of the pan (please see pics of all my measurement references
Pan is over 12lbs in weight. super heavy, and very large. It's approx 30cm in diameter and approx 3.25" tall
The pan is 3.65-3.8mm thick. It varies in thickness due to copper being hammered (even bottom).
I took measurements in 5-7 spots and lowest I got was 3.65mm and highest around 3.85mm. Hard to be more precise, so please keep that in mind
Pan is silver plated to 54 microns and comes with a 5 year warranty against defects (I don't know what that means exactly, but buyer will get a copy of that invoice for their reference)
The plan is clean and has not been used since being silver plated. It's not perfect as being close to 40 years old. see pic 3, where I pointed out with marker some spots where it's not smooth.
Rivets are strong and large and shiny. Handle is secure.
Overall, this is a wonderful example of french cookware, that's literary is not made anymore in this size and thickness...
Asking $1300 shipped in CONusa, insured with signature.
All pics attached, but directly linking only a few...
