DescriptionThis copper cazo pot is rounded and features a slightly flared opening. A loop handle is visible on either side of the cazo, which appears to be riveted to the side surface. The handles appear to be constructed from a piece of round stock that is bent over and flattened at the bottom into oval shapes in which the rivets pass. Usage over time is characterized by oxidation and discoloration throughout the pot's surface.
