Antique Trinity College Cambridge Copper Saucepan & Lid (1901) | Collegiate Kitchenalia

An exceptional, quality piece of late Victorian academic history, this heavy-gauge solid copper saucepan and matching lid originates directly from the kitchens of Trinity College, Cambridge.

The rim of the pan features a crisp, deeply stamped institutional provenance mark: TRIN COLL KITCH 1901. Built to withstand the brutal, non-stop demands of an Edwardian university kitchen, the pan boasts an incredibly thick copper gauge and a robust, hand-riveted cast iron handle.

Crucially, it retains its original matching copper lid, complete with its specially forged iron loop handle shaped to clear the main pan arm perfectly.

A rare, highly tactile conversation piece that combines undeniable academic prestige with top-tier culinary craftsmanship. Ideal for display on open kitchen shelving or as a standout addition for collectors of rare British copper.
