A Pair of Antique Brass Jam Pans
This lot comprises a pair of antique brass jam pans, also described as cauldrons, offered as two matching vessels. Each pan has a deep, tapering body that widens towards the rim, with a rounded base and a heavy wrought iron swing handle fixed to either side. The pans are presented side by side, showing a near-identical form that suggests they were made as a pair or used together in a domestic or commercial kitchen. Their traditional open-pan design reflects the form historically favoured for preserve making and general cooking over an open fire or range.
Pair of Pans Offered in Used Condition
Both pans show clear signs of age and use. The iron swing handles carry surface rust, most noticeably where they join the rims, and the exterior brass displays an uneven, darkened patina with areas of greening. The interior of the left-hand pan retains a dry, dark residue, while the right-hand pan appears cleaner with a lighter surface tone. No repairs or later alterations are evident. Their untouched, period appearance and the matched pairing may appeal to collectors of antique kitchenalia, interior stylists seeking characterful vessels for display or planting, and buyers looking for traditional cookware with strong decorative presence.
