It wasn't the highest quality but I used them daily - rarely polishing them - until a few years ago when I gave them to my son to take to college. I still have some beauties: a huge rustic copper pot to hold firewood, a large French hammered copper stock pot that I use for canning, and various other copper pieces. I am always on the lookout for a reasonably priced piece. Sometimes Home Goods has high quality ones, but the cheaper ones look great too and work just fine - as my 28 years can attest to.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166256589384818995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-17452612880113483732012-10-02T12:18:35.454-07:002012-10-02T12:18:35.454-07:00Love it!!!

Rarely buys it now, but the appreciation never fades. It adds a warmth to one's kitchen that nothing else can match.

Just this past month we did a bit of kitchen remodeling and I decided to polish my pots and use them. They are fabulous! How silly not to have used them for their intended purpose all these years!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013575045318957453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-40203021450554820592012-10-01T09:03:49.149-07:002012-10-01T09:03:49.149-07:00Looks great...but WHERE is this picture taken?

Also got a Ruffoni au gratin pan with a cute acorn handle lid. I plan to do a copper post on my pieces sometime in the future so hopefully you can catch up on some of the neat pieces then. - TonyaOur French Inspired Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315204176168596096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-2183032290952153452012-10-01T08:14:47.356-07:002012-10-01T08:14:47.356-07:00Beautiful gift!!
