Better Homes & Gardens: The 8 Best Copper Cookware Pieces of 2023

Bring a bit of the Old World into your home with a vintage 1880s French copper stockpot. Weston Table sells traditional-style housewares including some antique pieces, such as this copper stockpot. While it is a distinctive piece, it isn’t meant to be left on a shelf; this stockpot was built to work in your kitchen as an active piece of cookware.

Double rivets secure the handles to the stockpot, making it possible to transport the pot even when it’s full of soup that’s been simmering all day. It may look fancy, but it’s also capable of handling everyday meals such as boiling pasta for a spaghetti dinner.

There are two elements that drew our attention to this copper cookware. First, purchasing a vintage piece of copper cookware is more sustainable than purchasing something that’s brand new, as it keeps high-quality pieces from being sent to a landfill simply because of age. Second, this copper stockpot is a long-lasting, expertly crafted piece that you won’t see in your neighbor’s kitchen. If you have an affinity for vintage items, this stockpot would be a handsome addition to your collection. 

Of course, the drawback is the price. This is one of the most expensive single pieces of copper cookware on our list. While it’s not a good fit for every kitchen, it will certainly turn heads in the right home.
