A very lovely, large and unusual exceptional antique French copper dovetail stock pot with
thick large brass handles and a wonderful thick patina only many years
of age can acquire
Found in an old historic 1700s farmhouses barn
in Pennsylvania and has achieved plenty of personality and character
through its long life
The name John Burns Montreal engraved on
the side, we have never seen another like this. We believe it could have
been made for John Burns a Presbyterian minister, author and teacher
born Feb 12 1773 in the parish of Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland who lived a
very interesting life and lived till Feb 1822 in Upper Canada.
Very
large weighing almost 20 lbs. This antique pot sits about 14'' tall x
14''wide. Zoom up and notice all of the character this old pot holds and
enjoy. Notice the large soldered mark that may have been a hole or a spout
You and your family will be sure to love this rare
historic piece and will be a wonderful family heirloom to enjoy in your
home for many years to come :)
