40cm Jacquotot oval gratin

This unusually thick oval gratin is the work of Jacquotot, which makes it even more precious to me.

36cm Gaillard daubière, “Napoleon”

When I unpacked this daubière and beheld it for the first time, I recognized it immediately. I mean, the resemblance is uncanny, is it not?

30cm saucepan “BG”

There are no makers’ marks on this hefty saucepan, but I suspect it’s Gaillard.

36cm J & E Gaillard sauté

When Erik Undiks at Rocky Mountain Retinning worked on this pan for me, he said it was the thickest sauté pan he’d ever handled.

40cm Duval daubière, “Charlemagne”

Of all the types of copper pots and pans I have, it is the daubières that seem to have the most personality. This one is named Charlemagne.

50cm jambonnière ovale

This pot type was intended to braise something as big as an entire ham, and I believe this one could do it.
