{"product_id":"early-european-brass-stockpot-with-lid","title":"Early European Brass Stockpot with Lid","description":"\u003cp\u003eA relic of labour, carrying the gravity of its working past.\u003cbr data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"631\"\u003eFormed in heavy brass using early rolled sheet construction, this stockpot reflects utilitarian European cookware prior to later Victorian standardisation. Likely dating from the late 18th to very early 19th century, the riveted side handles, vertical seam, and hand worked lid point to pre industrial workshop production rather than factory output. Surface oxidation reveals layers of use, heat, and mineral interaction accrued over extended working life. The exterior carries areas of silvered abrasion and iridescent purple tonality from repeated firing and handling, while the interior retains distinct brass banding from prolonged contact and cleaning, creating a depth and tonal complexity absent in later examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures:  28cm Ø × 22 cm H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConditioned for presence and atmosphere\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViewings by appointment | North Sydney area\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Fredericks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51461079040282,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0392\/6042\/files\/PXL_20251213_083432643.jpg?v=1765889299","url":"https:\/\/harperfredericks.com\/products\/early-european-brass-stockpot-with-lid","provider":"Harper Fredericks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
