The newer Mauviel copper pieces are much thinner and lighter yet still ...being considered as an investment. Yet the older vintage pieces are much more coveted as they become harder and harder to find or replace from the French famous copper shops cherished supply.Those cherished treasures are being lovingly stored in special rooms at the back of the company shops in France and shown only to serious collectors upon request. As copper became increasingly expensive Mauviel could no longer continue to make the pans of the same thickness of copper to keep the prices within the reach of affordability. The older original pieces became more of the collectors items as they became so hard to find. This pan is one of them. A rare stamp of GAILLARD PARIS is present.
