Circa early 20th C, New York, from Duparquet, 110 W 22nd St, an enormous and heavy (40lbs) copper stock pot with two wrought iron handles and a fitted lid with a top wrought iron handle. The Duparquet stamp is evident on two sides of the pot and on the lid. In addition, the initials JPM are stamped underneath one of the Duparquet stamps. An owner’s stamp suggests that someone valued the pot enough to claim it as theirs. Both the lid and the pot have the letter M stamped on them. A single number or letter is usually a reference to match the pan to its lid, and perhaps also to its spot on the shelf of a busy kitchen. The pot is beautifully made and shows all the hallmarks of superb craftsmanship. Cramp seams are evident on the side and base of the pot. In a cramp seam, the notches (called crenellations, like the top of a medieval castle wall) cut into one piece of copper slide over the edge of the other piece along the entire length of the seam and are pounded — cramped — together until they fuse into a single layer. The smith then lets molten brass flow into the crevices along the seam to seal it, a process called brazing. (Brass and copper readily bond to each other, so the filler brass helps to strengthen the join across the layers of copper.) A well-executed brazed cramp seam with copper and brass is a strong and long-lasting join. The rivets on the handles are sturdy and consistent with the overall quality of the pot. Refinished and polished this would be a spectacular statement piece. As it is, it would make for a gorgeous and highly functional log holder.
