Lovely Cookware, Great Quality!
I just received my beautiful copper pot and I am very, very pleased.  I love copper cookware, and I actually tend to purchase older pieces because they are often heavier and better quality than what is mass-produced and marketed today.  This 'new' piece, though, is truly a work of great craftsmanship.  It is beautiful and substantial.  I am so pleased with it that I will order more from this maker in the future.  I happen to love hammered cookware - and one thing I'd like to remark on is that this piece is very finely hammered.  By this, I mean that the hammering is small in contrast to other pieces I have.  For example, the stock pot currently on my stove has hammer marks that are about 3/8&#34; x 3/8&#34; - like chick pea sized, maybe.  This new pot has very small hammer marks - smaller than a French lentil.  I haven't actually seen a pot with such fine hammer marks before, but I really like it - it makes the hammering more subtle, but reflects and refracts light very well and so still gives off a nice 'gleam' on my stovetop.
