DescriptionThis Mexican copper cazo pot is rounded, with a slightly flared opening at the top. A handle on each side is pictured, appearing to be welded or riveted onto the pot's outer edge. The surface of the outer edge of the cazo pot appears rugged and uneven. Subtle rings appear to line the pot's interior, followed by substantial oxidation through the entirety of the surface's exterior, with the interior specifically highlighting a more reddish-brown, sepia-like color compared to the darker color on the outside.
