I can only imagine the epicurean delights once created in this pot at the famous Waldorf Hotel! The hotel opened in 1893 and this is likely from that time period. The dove-tailed joints run down the side and all around about an inch up from the bottom. The walls are 2mm thick. It could be used for cooking but will need to be re-tinned, it is a beautiful decoration and a great conversation piece.
While you're here be sure to check out the other items in my FIFTY SHADES OF RUST shop! To calculate shipping click on "see details" next to SHIPPING and enter your zip in the little box. I make every attempt to disclose damage to items and to provide a detailed description and good pictures but feel free to ask questions. I'm a super - duper good packer and most breakables are bubble wrapped and double boxed - sometimes my shipping may seem high but it will arrive safely. If you are outside the US message me and I will give you a shipping quote. I have a 14 day return policy - if you are not satisfied with your purchase simply let me know, I issue an immediate refund upon return of the item (which is your responsibility). I strive for the best quality and value in my items and also work extremely hard for my customer service to be second to none. Thank you for shopping with me, Alohajunglejane!!
