**French Copper Saucepan Set (5-Piece) — GAOR, Villedieu-les-Poêles

History
Bring a piece of French culinary heritage into your kitchen with this graduated set of five copper saucepans made in Villedieu-les-Poêles, a town renowned for metalwork and copper craftsmanship since the Middle Ages. Known for producing some of France’s finest professional cookware, Villedieu workshops combined thick copper bodies with hand-forged iron fittings and traditional tin linings — a standard that continues to influence French copper design today.
