DescriptionThis large cazo pot is constructed of a single sheet of hammered forged copper with a riveted reinforced rim and two loop handles (handles each made of a single piece of round stock and flattened at the ends and riveted to the body). With its flattened base and flared body, this cazo's rim is dented, as is the bottom, and soot and corrosion are visible on the outer surface. One long reinforcement strip has broken off from under one handle to the original strip.
