Hello & Welcome to My Auctions!

I am a mom, dentist and lover of antique copper cookware & kitchenalia! While shopping for pieces to add to my own collection, I often have the pleasure of finding beautiful pieces to share with all of you! As much as I would like to keep all of these sparkling treasures for myself, I simply cannot. I usually have several gorgeous pieces for sale, most come directly from France and England.

I am committed to offering unique, high-quality items and strive to provide each of you with an exceptional experience. This experience begins at the moment that you "click" on my listing. I do my best to include 12 clear pictures in every listing, accompanied by thorough and accurate descriptions. In fact, some (most) of my descriptions turn into mini-novels. I will apologize in advance for my long, rambling and overly-enthusiastic descriptions.

Please keep in mind that many of these pieces are very old. We should not expect perfection from a 200 year old cooking vessel. Although it may be tempting to skip a few sections of the listing, please view all 12 pictures and read each item's entire description, prior to bidding. If not, you might miss some very important details or images.

I realize that copper cookware is a considerable investment. I will be more than happy to provide you with additional pictures or answer any questions that you may have.

Your new copper goodies will be carefully packaged and promptly shipped, most within 24 hours of payment. I ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING- see special payment instructions at the end of the listing for combined shipping options.

I sincerely want you to be thrilled with your purchases! Receiving your new copper cookware should bring joy and excitement! If any item that you purchase from me is not what you expected or you are unsatisfied in any way, please contact me immediately. I have a very relaxed return policy, most likely because my items are rarely returned. If you're not happy, just send it back! No worries!

While I definitely have a friendly "no problem" attitude toward accepting a return and issuing a full refund, my attitude toward individuals who leave negative or neutral feedback, without first informing me of a problem, is anything but friendly. In fact, I do not think that eBay should allow buyers to submit negative feedback without first contacting the seller. This policy is very unfair and should be revised. Thankfully, this has only happen to me 2 times in more than 10 years and 3,500 transactions. Still, I was furious both times and both individuals have been blocked from bidding on my auctions for eternity- ha ha! Seriously- don't leave damaging feedback for any seller, if you haven't first communicated your concerns. It is simply mean and unreasonable.

If you would like to be notified when my new items arrive, simply add me to your favorites!

I would like to close with a word of warning:

Copper fever is a most beautiful nightmare. To the best of my knowledge, there is no cure. Like many of us, you have most likely been bitten by the copper bug.

Welcome to our world... you are in good company!

Thank you and Many Blessings,

Kelly

For Sale is a Beautiful 6.25" French Copper Roasting Pan!

I purchased these beautiful copper pan directly from France. As you can see in the pictures, I had the good fortune of finding several matching piecesas well! The five pans that you see in pictures #1 and #12 are graduated in size. This is the middle-sized in the group, measuring 6.25" in diameter. The other pans measure 10.25", 7.25", 5.75" and 5" in diameter. They would make a magnificent set or Christmas gift!

I have chosen to sell the pans separately, as not everyone wants or needs 5 matching pieces. However, I will be happy to combine shipping if you purchase more than one piece.

Again, this auction is for the 6.25" pan only.

Moving on...

The pan has been stamped MADE IN FRANCE next to the handle. While there is no actual "manufacturer's" stamp, it was most likely made by Mauviel. The design is fairly easy to recognize and the quality is fantastic!

This pan is oven-safe and transitions beautifully from a fantastic piece of cookware to a stunning serving dish! What a gorgeous addition to your Holiday table!

Exterior Condition:

The copper exterior of the pan has a brilliant mirror-like! There are a some light scratches to be noted, but nothing major to report.

Structural Condition:

The pan is structurally sound and very well-made!

There are no leaks, cracks or holes. There may be a minor ding or two, but nothing major to report.

The pan sits flat and has two sturdy brass/bronze handles.

The handles are firmly attached by solid copper rivets.

Everything is exactly as it should be!

Interior Condition:

The interior has been relined with new hand-applied tin. The lining is clean, bright and completely intact. There are a few minor surface irregularities, but this is typical of hand applied tin and is no cause for alarm. There is no exposed copper.

The pan is perfectly suitable for use and ready to cook something delicious!

Approximate Measurements:

8.75" Handle to handle length

6.25" upper diameter

5" base diameter

1.25" in depth

Weight is slightly 1 pounds

Thickness is 1.3mm-1.4mm

This Gorgeous 6.25" French Copper Pan will be an excellent addition to any collection!

SHIPPING OPTIONS:

In attempt to find the lowest rate for each individual buyer, I provide several shipping options. If you click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab, you will see different couriers and services. At check-out, you can select the method that you prefer.

Shipping fees are calculated by eBay's automated system, based upon your zip code. There have been errors in the past. If a rate seems too high, please contact me for an actual quote for your city and zip code.

COMBINED SHIPPING:

Since so many of my buyers purchase multiple items, I am more than happy to combine shipping. In some cases, combining all items into one parcel significantly reduces shipping fees. I calculate combined shipping fees based upon total weight and dimensions of the box. I will never charge you per item.

If you would like to combine shipping of multiple items, it is very important that you

DO NOT PAY FOR ITEMS INDIVIDUALLY.

Please wait until I have revised your shipping fee and Total Invoice has been sent.

EBay requires me to ship each item within 24 hours of payment. If you pay for each item individually, I must ship them accordingly. Additionally, it is difficult for me to create an insured parcel when the items are not on one total invoice.

If you plan to bid on additional items, simply message after you have won your first item.

I will hold your item(s) until you message me that you are finished with purchases. I prefer not to hold items longer than 14 days. However, special arrangements can be made-not to exceed 30 days.

When I receive your "ready to check-out" message, I will calculate the new (reduced) shipping fee and send a total invoice to you. You can pay for all items from that invoice. I will ship all items together and save you money in shipping fees!

If you plan to bid on additional items, simply message after you have won your first item.

*There have been occasions when eBay's automated shipping fee calculator has made an error. If a shipping fee seems excessively high, please message me with you city and zip code for an exact quote.

I prefer payment to be made through PayPal. However, I will consider accepting alternative forms of payment upon request.

If you are unable to complete payment within 4 days of the auction's end or would like to make special arrangements regarding payment, please message me. I do not mind waiting for payment, and will do my best to be fair and flexible.

Again, communication is the key :)

Blessings & Happy Bidding!
